The Opening Ceremony

[Bellamy]

Oh, I thought Syria was in between though.

i think I ignored it or something. You know small countries only have few athelets, and pass in few seconds.

 

Holland now.

[Edwin]

So that meant Moz just was on too. Did you see Edward??

[Bellamy]

Davey can tell you about this.

[Edwin]

He's not watching them, he's working on his thesis.

 

EDIT: Haha, well apparently he posted it in WOYRM.

 

COOL!! I was just in time for the Netherlands!! about 255 atlets! cool to see! I also saw our prime minister Balkenende and our future king Willem-Alexander and his wife Máxima! The Netherlands Antilles was behind it... with only like 10 people... that was a bit... weird! LOL

[grobandion]

Damn, i can't see it until tonight (in about 10 hours!!!!)

It sounds amazing!!!

 

Has anyone seen Argentina? Emanuel Ginobilli (our idol, from the NBA Spurs) was "el abanderado", carrying the flag.

 

I have seen photos of the stadium "nido de pajaro" bird nest, and it's itlsef a whole show....A M A Z I N G

 

Were there any of those awesome dragons I've only seen in movies?

 

saludos

[Krys]

oh yah, Malaysia was like the first few...boy did our lot look odd

[Bellamy]

omg the BEST opening evah!

I still think Athens is better. And the song is the worst ever, even worse than Bjork's Ocean.

[CellyDee87]

I'm being biased, but I still love the Sydney opening!

[Edwin]

GD: Argentina already went, and I to also have to wait til tonight. It will be cool to look out for countries of some Celine fans I wouldn't have looked out for before.

[Bellamy]

Italy

[grobandion]

Thanx Edwin, yes I can't wait

Edward...how about the dragons? Any of those (sorry, dunno their name, you know what I mean, right?)

[Edwin]

Poor Denelle has to wait for Australia. How do you write that in Chinese?

[CellyDee87]

I know I'm delirious sitting here waiting!

[Bellamy]

15 strokes for the first glyph of Australia, and there are 4 glyphs total.

[grobandion]

I really don't know much of the chinese culture...except for those dragons, fireworks, "La Gran Muralla" (sorry, don't know the name in English...big wall maybe?) and Jacki Chan and Mulan

[Edwin]

Well you're supposed to be on the mission to get us a name of that Dutch hottie

 

GD: The Great Wall

wow..

[nano]

I wanna know who the next performer is.....,

[Bellamy]

I think they should light up the torch next, then maybe another song? I heard the guy who light up the torch is Li Ning, a famous Chinese gymnast who had won 3 Olympics gold medal, and 14 championship. One of the best gymnast ever.

[RONIN]

i'm waiting for the torch!!!
