I'm watching it and it's terrible.
The part where the USA marched in was cool though.

I for one, love the Olympics. I am enjoying the opening ceremonies so far, but we're not that far in to yet. The only major bummer this year, is the Games are during the assembly.
I wonder if they'll broadcast some of the events at the concession stands?

Tsk, it's called culture, Dajudge, culture, diversity, and art!
The Chinese have a very collective social structure.
(Reminds me of the Borg, a little bit,
)
....but I still think it's quite interesting and beautiful!
Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight...
I would love to get some of those pictures of children's faces that they used in that one part of the show.

I feel sorry for the cheerleaders (I guess that is the name for them), the ones standing around the grounds of the stadium. I am sure they will be happy when it is over.
The torch has arrived now:-)

Absolutely incredible with the final torch bearer. No wonder the Chinese are gonna surpass the USA in being a world power soon.
