I watched the Opening Ceremonies of The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games tonight and all I can manage to say on it was that I was completely blown away. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. That was the best Opening Ceremony for the Olympics I have ever seen since I can remember watching them as a child. Absolutely incredible and captivating. Very, interesting too with the history of China! In case you missed any of it, check the official website of the Beijing 2008 Olympics below.
