The colorful evening was so spectacular that all those who contributed for the opening ceremony absolutly deserve a thundering applause and great appreciation. Robot man walked in the sky, which was really exciting.
The fire work display, the traditional music using ancient percusion instruments and the flourscent stick, the dance performance were amazing. The song by a kid is also attractive.
The event had almost 2.3 billion viewers around the world watching this program and 91,000 people watching it live from Bird's Nest. With 2008 drummers doing the count down, the event was kicked off officially at the right time, 8 PM, the lucky number of Chinese.
The show went on for almost 4 hours with approximately 15000 performers taking over the opening ceremony, which was choreographed by masterlcass Chinese director Zhang Yimou.
Though there were protests against China's policy on Tibet, and recent remarks by US President Bush on China's record on human rights against Thailand, and a threat by France president to pull off from the opening ceremony, everything went well.
More than 200 countries are participating in this 16-day event. The event was witnessed by top political leaders--George Bush, Vladimir Putin, Sonia Gandhi,
China has got 10 out of 10 for the opening ceremony. Let us wish Chinese brothers and sisters, a very good luck in conducting this evenut successfully!
