Wow, incredible, I’m impressed. The drumming thing was kind of ominous, the big screen on the floor is incredible, Lord help us if we have to fight those people ;)
Olympics Rock !!

Okay, this is pretty cool. The scroll on the bottom is how Chinese art evolved.

The NBC people need to learn to STFU, constant babbling is not required.

Am I the only one who thought that was just a little disturbing?
No, you are not the only one. Very militaristic, very one voice (communism), very China.

There’s a reason these Olympics in China are on 8-8-08. Eight is a VERY important number for the Chinese. The sound for the word ‘eight’ is similar to the sound for the word prosper or wealth.

Those boxes are cool. Wow.
