080808- One World, One Dream

Beijing welcomes you!



It is indeed a dream come true for China. Extraordinary opening ceremony which proved to the world of what China is capable of doing. For those who had missed the opening ceremony, do watch the repeats. The coordination and choreography was fantastic! And guess who's behind all these? Zhang Yimou! No wonder the whole ceremony was so movie-like. A total of 204 countries participated, some of which I haven't even heard of in my life!







Fireworks everywhere! The whole of city of Beijing was filled with fireworks! Well, they are the one who invented fireworks, so it shouldn't cost that much for them right? And a trail of 29 colossal firework footprints were seen going off at the rate of 1 per second, one after another, from outside the Stadium, marching along Beijing city's central axis into the national stadium.
