Gr8

Saw the gr8est show on earth last night. It was superb as the IOC President described it.

China’s 5000 years of history condensed into an hour pageantry of sight and sound that left every single person be it the live or tv audience gobsmacked.

Would London in 2012 be able to come any closer to match this most spectacular show on earth? I do not think London should even try. Why? Because I am sure the Chinese have blown their Olympic budget to excessive proportion by staging the opening ceremony and the Games.

And with Beijing covering with smog leading up to the opening ceremony and even today, I think the amount of fireworks displayed last night was unnecessary. (And by the way I had seen even more spectacular fireworks than those of last night ie. when Sydney turned 200 years in 1988).
