Just spent the last hour watching the opening ceremony and all I can say is the Chinese are something else ENTIRELY.

The quality and class of that show was leaps and bounds beyond anything we've ever seen before and SA will battle to present an opening ceremony for the WC that is even 10% as impressive

2008 people all drumming in time was probably one of the most impressive things I've ever seen. The lifting of the olympic rings in light was mind blowing (I still don't know how they did it). Using the entire city almost for the opening ceremony with fireworks all over the place was equally impressive and eye opening. I don't think I've ever seen a city use anything but the stadium for the opening ceremony.

From an architectural standpoint they used the design of the Birds Nest beautifully for the lighting..

All in all, I am blown away with that opening ceremony, it was absolutely incredible.

No that's standard Pooky :rolleyes:

Also its quite amazing that the entire city didn't catch alight with all the reported pollution hanging around :D

At work never saw the opening, don't care to...
 
I cried! How did they do all the things they did?

Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :)
 
Been watching it here at work, bit of a drinking session going on too (explains the poor typing of late). Every time the chinese PM/president/dictator (whatever they have) comes on I shout "murderer!!!!". I'm not sure what the japanese people around here think of that.

The lifting of the rings was amazing! But then again, they did have the printing press and paper first.
