Anyone else watching it ...all i have to say is WOW. Its on 7:30 - midnight ...they are putting on quite the show with special affects ext. Very very neat.
I've never been a 'sports fan', so won't be watching anything but the equestrian events on TV, but I did just watch the opening ceremony, and it was absolutely AWESOME! What an accomplishment; the Chinese people can take great pride in this astounding spectacle!
We don't have a TV, so I'm not watching it. I heard the opening ceremony cost approximately $100 million. Just think of how many people that could have helped...
I heard it was 1.2 billion. It will get its share of critisium. It was really incredible though. I just couldn't believe the accuracy of timing of 2008 individual drummers and when they were doing the tychi, and the popping boxes WOW!
