I watched that too

.....08.08.08 8pm

i was sitting in front of the tv, spent the whole night watching this very stunning GRAND Opening Ceremony of the 29th Olympic Games, Beijing 2008.

the footprint-like-fireworks.

29 footsteps 'walked' around the city of Beijing towards the bird nest.

and it begins~

The Olympic Rings

yoohoo~ China did a great job for that! Agree with me if you were watching that last night too.

I like the way they count down with the drum performance.

oh I'm lack of descriptive vocab I can't help I wanted to say, very SAT!!

and I like this movable-type-printing performance.

Very special.

There's a Chinese word on top of each of the box and one of the performance was like the boxes moved up-and-down really like a printing machine and formed a Chinese word, 和(pronounce as 'her' in english, without the 'r' sound), which means 'peace', represent the aim 'we are family'.

and and there are peoples inside the boxes! I thought it was computer-operated at first... So amazing that I felt guilty with what I thought. >.<

and this one, the performers actually wore glowing lights on their body and formed the Bird Nest.

"wow!"

*applause for the great performance*
