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
