My front row seat for Opening Ceremony, probably similar to yours, only the size of TV will differ!
5 steps to the fridge (including the turn to open the door!)One World, One Dream
Is there any chance that can be world peace in our lifetimes?
An amazing opening ceremony, courtesy Hong Kong Tv (SZ is so close it gets off mainland TV in English), we have ages for Australia as it will come out as Odalia (spelling??) in Pinying.
I have a total of 5 steps to the fridge, five to the bedroom and the TV is centre stage but so far I've been spellbound by the precision and technology from Chinese performers. I had to wait for an ad break to fill my glass with a South African Sav Blanc to go with scrambled eggs on toast!
I poked my head out of the window a few minutes ago and there is not much activity compared with a normal Friday...everyone at work and all teh students were going to watch the opening ceremony from home or a pub. Home sounded good to me, cheap, safe and airconditioned!
An Aussie from Radio Australia manged to get a commentating spot with HK TV so I expect to get some parochial support when Aus comes out.
My guess for the lighting of teh cauldron - a dragon somehow or a phoenix in a high tech display or something so incredibly simple it will be awesome!
