Yesterday, the 2008 Olympics started on the lucky day 08/08/2008 @ 8:08 Beijing time!
Ever since I was a kid, I always loved the opening ceremony of the Olympics, where the athletes walk in and represent their country.
In Hawaii, it was shown tape delayed. And I came home & turned on the TV just before the USA athletes came in :) [good news]
But I'm still mad at myself for not arriving early to watch all the nations walk in!
But the classic was when Yao Ming and the 9-year-old Chinese earthquake survivor lead the Chinese athletes into the stadium.
And the lighting ceremony was so freaky. To be flown around the top of the stadium being held by a string! That would make me nervous as hell!
