Spectacular

I only have one word to describe the opening ceremony to the Beijing 2008 Olympics – Spectacular!

China certainly knows how to put on a show and with Zhang Yimou at the helm, you wouldn’t really expect anything less. London now has a lot to live up to but I can already guarantee you it’ll be tame in comparison to this.

I’ll let the photos do the talking… can’t wait to download this in HD!

    Yeah, me too very much! I remember wanding around the Olympic site when it was still under construction. Really really wish I was back there. Here's hoping Shenzhen is as interesting!!
