Makes me wish I still lived up north near the Canadian border so I could get CBCs coverage, I hate NBC.

Thanks...

Yao Ming bearing the flag. The kid marching next to him is an earthquake survivor who went back to save other kids in his collapsed school.

Can’t deny the opening show was wonderful, BUT I feel it fell little short. We’ve seen better!

Flowery dresses are very big in Hungarian culture, except they usually have a mix of colors.
