FYI: Olympic 2008 Opening Ceremony Show Off

Picture was taken from Today Online, 9-Aug-2008
If this Beijing Olympic 2008 Opening Ceremony was meant for show off, then it really served the purpose. It is indeed a spectacular display of colosal dancing, music, and fireworks mastermind by Zhang Yimou, the famous director of movies like Hero and House Of Flying Dagger.

I really enjoy watching it and quite amaze especially with the 'Giant Steps' fireworks, a series of fireworks looks like a giant footstep in the Beijing city towards the Bird's Nest stadium... it was such a very well organized and the timing of the fireworks blast off was so perfect. The bird view of this giant step show made it even more spectacular. Bravo!

Not sure how much China Government spent for this Olympic Opening Ceremony - must be a huge amount - but it was worth of money. And, regardless whatever controversy prior to this big sport party event, having all people around the world whether they are athletes who participates directly in the games or supporters watch it in front of their television, it is a showcase of 'Unity in Sportivity & Peace'.
