Forgot today is Aug 8, 2008
Has some significant meaning if you are chinese.

Since I won't be seeing alot of the coverage of the Olympics.
Seeing the opening ceremonies was spectacular and jaw dropping.
It would have been nice to see a famous singer IE Andy Lau, Faye Wong, Leon Lai (He was born in Beijing) and whoever recognizable.
I forgot the whole thing was directed by Zhang Yimou. He directed such films as Raise The Red Lantern, Hero and House Of Flying Daggers.
Glad that Steven Speilberg didn't help out and it would have been bad.

Besides the whole hoopla of China's human rights crap.
I am like C'mon its a sporting event not the G8 summit.
Sports and Politics don't mix.
If you want to bitch about China's bad doings than do it somewhere else.

People just want attention.

I was listening to CBC's Q and they were saying how people only watch the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
No one is going to watch the events anyways well maybe some.

I rather see the opening and closing ceremonies anyways because its more entertaining.

Now I can't wait to see the Closing Ceremonies.
