the venue is the right place for such a big event.That was marvellous,China has all the reasons to smile, from economy to international superiority. But china should check on it rights to reporting. We need to be informed out here. Be proud china, have you realised how many super world leaders are bowing towards you?

A splendid site indeed. Would that China was something other than a dictatorship, run by elites, while hundreds of millions languish in poverty with no right to speak. I am sure the farmers who are suffering from lack of water, water diverted to keep Beijing green during the games, will suffer in pride. Anyway it was a very dazzling show.

I have been to china.Its not what everyone thinks. China is not a dictatorship is very modern and not just poor farmers and dirt roads.You can't just hear roomers and just say its true. You have to go to china to to know what its like.If YOU haven't been to China, you have no idea what its like.You people that say this have no right to say this crap.

I like the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Ceremony as it was quite interesting. I've seen the first opening ceremony which i mean the lighting for the ceremony. I have been looking forward for it since i was young as i've never seen it before.
Now my wish have been fulfilled.

Well well, the best opening ceremonys so far were Barcilona and Sydney.Beijing certainly rates with them. Well done China! In the western world we certainly know very little about the sleeping dragon and it is really greate to see some of it. What a beautiful country with beatiful people.
