Beijing 2008 Olympic Games - One World One Dream

The opening ceremony last friday, 080808..

at the National Stadium - the Bird's Nest!

inside the Bird's Nest...91,000 spectators!

crazily impressive performances by the Chinese!
..the amount of manpower they have n their perfect performance...*salute



-The People's Republic of China-
the march-pass was rather draggy..haha..
204 countries altogether!



guess who carried Switzerland's flag?
heeeheee



the Olympic flag was carried by 8 Chinese young and old athletes!





for me, the most impressive part abt the opening ceremony was this...
the final torchbearer was being lifted up in the air and
he made a final lap around the stadium all the way to the cauldron!

and lastly, the fireworks was gorgeous and ALOT!
total cost for the fireworks for the opening ceremony = USD1.3million!
well done, China!

i obviously wasn't there...haha..these photos are not mine...(DUH!)
