I think I've never heard a quarter of the countries that marched during the opening hehehe.

Amazing opening presentation....

Yao Ming was the perfect flag bearer hehe, he just towers over everyone during the final stretch of the march.... Although the Chinese's suits look like they work for McDonald's...

That stadium is GORGEOUS when filled!

The painted floor thing was pretty neat as well.

Kinda pity those cheerleaders that surrounded the ring, though... They look tired halfway through the intros.

I actually feel sorry for the audience... four hours non-stop... and the stadium looked hot (lots of people fanning themselves). But the spectacle was worth it. This'll probably stand as the best Olympic Opening ever for a few decades to come.

They also removed Solar Sports (months ago). This is one time I wish I were in QC, where we have Global Destiny and Solar.

I thought the flame died when the torch bearer soared to the air... What an amazing torch lighting ceremony!!!!!!!!!!!

Walang binatbat yung mga flamed arrow lighting dati :rofl01:

Did you see the fireworks after the torch lighting? It spanned a couple of miles around the nest hehe... I think the "haze" helped the fireworks hehehe.

This was IMPRESSIVE to say the least.

Hindi ko napanood yung first part, naumpisahan ko na dun sa parade of the delegates until the lighting of the torch. I checked the TV sched of Solar and once lang and replay ng opening ceremony which was this morning. Saan ko kaya mapapanood ulit ito?
