O.P. Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics
Well yeah, it just started, and the opening ceremony is going on right now (It's so freaking cool it's not even funny).
Any thoughts or opinions on it?

It's been awesome, almost impossible for london 2012 to compete with this unless something really special happens.
This is awesome, i liked all the drums and lights at the start and its been uphil since then.

RE: Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics
Its kicked M*A*S*H off of Channel 7 over here, i never watch the olympics, never been something to interest me personally, although i will probably watch 2012.

O.P. RE: Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics
Now that the actually opening ceremony is over, I am STILL watching Olympic-related stuff...almost eight hours straight. Almost every channel in Hong Kong is airing non-stop Olympics stuff...even the evening and the midnight news are redecorated with Olympics and are ALL about Olympics...
The footsteps and the drums were cool...funny how the last torchbearer went faster than the scroll he was on and at the end, lagged so far behind he was in the pictures... 
(Don't forget about Hong Kong, we're hosting the boring equestrian events. )

RE: Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics
I must've caught the boring parts... I saw a few countries doing the walk, waving their flags, and the torch barer on the suspension wires being scuffled past the scroll, but I got bored and decided to have a little fun on the stock market... I'm kinda regretting it now after hearing about the firework display and stuff  |

RE: Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics
You were unlucky. You missed the best part. I agree the countries walk was a bit boring and think there were 204 countries. But hey, it is sure there will be DVDs and all that stuff about Olympic Games so you will see the opening ceremony if you really want to. |

RE: Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics
Pfft... Youtube will help me with the highlights, the rest I'm sure I'll live with not seeing. 
Which country does everyone think is going to "win" the olympics (most medals)? China, I have to say, look quite strong this year...
