The choreography of the drum opening, the dancing boxes and various other performers, the perfection in their positioning as they moved around in perfect unison was mind-boggling! The printing blocks were really cool and unbelievable! The festivity adn attention to the tiniest details was so far beyond anything I remember in past opening ceremonies. It was truly a feast for the senses... I cannot imagine what it must have been like to be there in person!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05243793167275150920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-3589609936452530222008-08-10T09:23:00.000-07:002008-08-10T09:23:00.000-07:00Various parts of the opening ceremonies are here: ...Various parts of the opening ceremonies are here: http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/nbcencore/index.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-61995309970194484942008-08-10T07:06:00.000-07:002008-08-10T07:06:00.000-07:00The Opening Ceremonies was fantastic and they are ...The Opening Ceremonies was fantastic and they are always memorable. I still remember sitting open mouthed watching the Opening Ceremonies in Athens. This one was even better. And, the sweet moment at the end with Yao Ming and the little boy from the earthquake.

I owe my husband a dinner after betting him that the printing blocks were computerized. How could mere humans be that perfect? And I found myself in tears a few times during the parade of nations. Like that one nation in Africa that the comentators said has an average annual income of $150. Just the concept of what it means for an athlete from that kind of a situation to go so far away to represent his country is amazing!<BR/><BR/>Wild RoseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
