The initial countdown sequence was really incredible, pretty amazing how 2008 man can do at the same time, such a beautiful vision.
jaw open the whole time, probably the most mind blowing well done and beautiful things i've ever seen.
5,000 years of cultural history and artistry in the breadth and depth of the performance.
I think it was the most amazing show. I don't know if my TV viewing experience was better than being there...I would've like to have been there anyhow, though :) 'cause then I could relive it on a HD viewing experience with all my friends :)
I think the most amazing thing was shear magnitude of the performance - soo many people involved. Strength, artistry, and elegance were on display in a way most have not ever seen before.
Best,

Probably a good time to start learning Chinese. Which one is the good one....cantonese or mandrin?
I believe all of them did very hard work
