The opening was epic, apart from the teams walking in, but how do you make that interesting anyway.

The sport itself doesn't interest me too much, might watch a few games when i zap by tho.

I must say, for someone who ususally finds the openign ceremonies boring it was quite good.

16 days of non-stop sport it's gonna be a good few weeks. Except for my uni work.

Did you guys see all the smog around the stadium?
it was more evident during the fireworks and the outside lighting of Beijing [Sorry if I spelt it wrong].

That can't be good for people with asthma.

I liked the drums as well. And the type writer thing with the people inside.

The Australian commentator goes its a new mechanism used to make the individual keys go up and down and 5 mins later all the people jumped out of the keys.

First ever Olympics to be broadcasted in HD :o The opening ceremony was awesome and I had seen this documentary on the Discovery channel a few days ago which showcased all the buildings that the Chinese made just for the games.. the Birds Nest and Water Cube are amazing :)
This could just be the most awesome Olympics wrt everything it has to offer.. :)

Bejing has serious smog problems, but most of what you saw was probably the fireworks smoke.

I disagree. The smoke wasn't from the fire works as the amount of smoke illuminated was too much to be caused by Fireworks. Every New Years I see fireworks on the TV and you can just make out the smoke if you look. During the ceremony it was way too obvious.

They should have fired more missiles into the clouds to make it rain.

yes, you always see the vast amount of fireworks used on the Olympics every year.
