Well, it was 8 minutes past midnight before the opening ceremony got underway NZ time, took a bit of effort but I managed to stay up for most of it. Those Chinese sure know how to throw a party, I couldn't believe the precision with which they executed the whole show, not a single person was out of step and of course the Chinese invention (fireworks) were put to grand use, I have always loved the Olympics, but this is the first time I have been really excited about it. Controversial yes, but still, I think China has gained its place in the world as a true powerhouse of a nation and not just in business, but entertainment too.
