Specutacular Show


I spent the whole afternoon watching Olympic opening ceremony today, also talking to other Chinese over the Internet about the show. Obviously every Chinese was excited. The other most notable thing here is that The Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony was so spectacular that it has already intimidate Olympics next hosting country. London 2012 officials have already admitted they will not be able to commit the same resources to their opening event. Tonight's choreographed show took seven years to plan, and costs are estimated to have hit a record-breaking $40bn (£20bn). When I told Terry all these reading on Internet after the great show and said joyfully that GB would never done a show like this and Terry said 'we are a small country, we can afford such money'...
But chief executive Paul Deighton said London organisers can stage an equally inspirational ceremony in four years time. "We are not daunted; we are really, really excited, what an inspirational show. We can't wait to get started on our welcome to London in four years' time," he said.
Hope so! Then maybe I can watch that show in London in four years' time

I didn't go to bed until 3am after the show... Then I was wild awake for a long time. This morning when I was supposed to get up, I felt that I didn't have any sleep at all.

But it's worth it! I loved the show. I even watched all the countries march into the stadium... boring. :)

I don't think anyone could match that. For one thing, how is any other country in the world able to provide sooooo many young, beautiful, and slim girls?? Impossible! That was Mark's verdict. Haha.

Is that what Mark said? ;) You'd better keep an eye on him next time when you both are in China,hehe :)

How nice that Mark was willing to stay up late with you to watch the Chinese show. Terry didn't even bother it at all. He took Daniel out to feed duck so I can watch it in peace. I watched the show with my two step-daughters, they happened to visit us last week. However, i dont think they are interested in Olympic that much.

Don't praise Mark too quickly! He did promise me that he would keep me company, but he was snoring away on the couch most of the time!! It was pretty late here. Australia didn't march into the stadium until about 1:30am and the show finally finished at after 2am our time. So I can't really blame Mark. :)

Yes Mark always loves the Chinese girls. But he reckons he has found the best one, haha. I would never have to keep an eye on him, because he is just not that type of person, hehe.
