All the Chinese people here are like "LOL Zhang Yimou is so...overrated...into himself...crazy. FOREIGNERS WILL NOT GET THE OP CEREMONY." I get the feeling he's not as super respected as people in the West think?

Opening ceremony was epic. Oh China. ♥

Apparently lots of Chinese people were complaining about the ceremony on the internet, or so said my dad. They thought the calligraphy dance took up too much time. But they made that piece of paper work. I wonder who'll get to keep it.

I noticed that his flag was upside down!! It seemed really odd, to me, that they could overlook that detail. Really, did no one bother to look at the flag the little boy picked up and say, "Hmm, something seems different..."?

Also, it bothered me that they had a shot of George W. during the walk of nations where he was bouncing his little American flag on his knee. Way to respect the flag, Mr. President! *can't wait until he's out of office!!*

LOL what I saw during the walk of the nations was him slouching in his seat and looking at his watch, bored out of his mind. Oh Mr. President, where is your national dignity?

Haha, I really didn't think Sarah Brightman was repeating the song in english. It sounded like Cat language or something.

Which part had unattractive women, the Tang dynasty one? The nation marching part had fairly pretty women, who met smiling regulations too.
