Olympics 2008


After much criticism and boycott the games are finally here. I love Olympics but still Protests against China's human rights abuses which have continued in various parts of the world against Tibet rule, their one child preferably male policy and death penalty policy is still questionable. Going back to Olympics the opening ceremony was amazing and out of this world. The show they had put up was simply the best I had ever seen in my life.

Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony reveals Chinese historical wonders. A portray of ancient china and its transformation into modern china. The views were breathtaking with thousands of performers synchronizing movements without a single glitch. Kudos to an amazing $300 million spectacle. Zhang Yimou acclaimed director of cinematographic masterpieces such as Hero and curse of the golden flower had put a nice show.

I was also impressed with the harmony of parade of the nations and how every athlete was so cheerful and exited to be under one roof greeting each other and giving a feeling of ONE WORLD without borders.

Lightening up the cauldron was breathtaking it wasn’t visible until it was lighted up an amazing feat
