Beijing Opening Ceremonies

I'm watching an encore presentation right now and I must say, it's really good so far.

I'll try not to spoil it for those of you who won't see it until later, but some of the things they have done are amazing and the fireworks displays are so cool. All the presentations are so well coordinated and you can tell a lot of work went into preparing them. I'm really happy with what I'm seeing so far.

6 hours and counting over here. Sigh, I can't wait. I did see some pics from the pre-show and the costumes were amazing. I wouldn't expect anything less from the Chinese though.

They had a earlier showing at like 4 this morning, but I'm definetly not waking up then. They are showing it like 5 different times today.

It's really good, but at times it seems like it's taking forever.

I am watching it right now as I make this post...I am waiting to see the lighting of the Olympic flame. I still think that the 1992 lighting will be hard to top!
The USA team has entered and so far I am impressed and think that China has put on an excellent program.
I will post more after I see the lighting of this Olympic's flame....

The lighting was pretty cool as I totally wasn't expecting what would happen next. I won't spoil it for you.

I thought the footprint fireworks from 'old' Beijing to 'new' Beijing was really cool.
