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?

BORING. Just skip this Tai Chi mess and get on with the events please.

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.

Okay, the flying dude lighting the torch was cool.
