I thought the Ceremony was damn impressive...a great mix of technology and human performance to an unbeleivable level of precision.

I watched when I got in at 5 am after laughing on the beach all night and I that program alone made the extra cost of the digital recorder worth it.

I thought the crowd was also very welcoming cheering for athletes form coutries the Chinese do not always agree with...pretty cool to see the crowd leave politics aside and celebrate the sports as it should be

Two highlights for me

YEOW Ming and the little kid that saved the other little kids brinigng in the Chinese Flag was just beat out by the American Flag bearer being what in my opinion is what good emmagration and the american dream is all about...tears for both of these stories

this Olympic situation could open their eyes (the chinese Gov't) and if they ever join western society this country better watch it's tail becaused this aint Japan, this is China and tey won;t go away
