I’m watching the 2008 Bejing Olympics Opening Ceremonies live over the internet right now (because NBC is too friggin lame to show the Opening Ceremonies Live in the US) and I gotta say….these are the most spectacular opening ceremonies I’ve ever seen. I started watching this at 5:00 AM my time and it’s still not over with yet (it’s 8:20 AM PST right now). China (the last team to march in to the stadium per Olympic tradition) just marched into Olympic Stadium)
If you have seen some of the photos on newspaper websites around the world, they do not do the ceremonies justice. TIVO it, watch it live, whatever. These are the most spectacular Opening Ceremonies I’ve ever seen in my life.
If you do watch the Opening Ceremonies, use this guide for the order of procession of countries entering the stadium. Countries do not march in alpabetically but in order of strokes in Chinese characers:
