Broadcast is set to start here in 20mins I think they are doing a special on China for the first half hour though, uncovering the history and all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
So excited, an Aussie guy said on the news today that he thinks no other country will be able to top China after their Opening Ceremony (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) sounds amazing! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clapping.gif)  |

Everyone in the audience would get a gift bag. There's a Chinese silk scarf, a little Chinese drum, a flashlight and a little torch model as light stick inside the bag.

Impressive indeed, very militant, and full of hypocryisism by implyin that all folk types stand by the Chineese flag.
But I hold no grudge towards the Chineese state anymore, not even the people. But towards the hypocrytes and cowards which populate and run the western world. /fred |

Sarah Brightman and Liu Huan are singing. The song is too gentle as a theme song.
