Wow, wow, wow....

By now, you've probably already watched the 29th Olympics Opening Ceremony. I'm sure you will agree that it was spectacular! Here's a couple of pictures from yesterday's grand opening:

The whole thing was simply jawdropping. Just amazing. If you missed it, you have to get a friend who TiVo'ed it and watch it. Here are my favorite things:

  • The 500 foot long LED TV
  • The 2008 drummers
  • The 15000 performers with the rowing paddles
  • The 2008 boxes 'mechanically' driven by humans!!
  • The TV around the stadium's roof
  • The 29 fireworks footsteps from the center of Beijing to the stadium
  • The choreography as a whole!
Are these too many things to be considered favorite ? Perhaps. Ok.. so the whole show was a favorite! :)

    I am trying, as much as I can, to boycott the TV emissions around the Olympics.
    I know it is just one drop in the ocean, but....
