Opening Ceremony of the Olympics

Anyone watching the opening ceremony?

Oh my goodness!

I've never seen such precision in my life!

Over 2,000 men doing Tai Chi in large circles and the circles are perfect!

It really is absolutely breathtaking! I just saw a few minutes of it, but the little bit I saw was amazing. I can't even begin to comprehend the amount of time those people had to spend preparing for it.

Re: Opening Ceremony of the Olympics

I was watching some guy and a gal singing at the opening on youtube...wow....is she married? Someone hook me up! I think she is Pentecostal too....very long hair and a dress.

BTW I thought it ironic where they had the childrens faces in a nation where abortion soars due to official chinese laws baring more than one child per family
