08.08.08

08.08.08 (初八) is all about the Olympics and China.

Instead of giving us some highlights of the Opening Ceremony in the morning LIVE, NBC was giving a workshop on Chinese culture, so I had to watch the 4-hour ceremony rerun at night. I rarely finished watching the entire ceremony in the past, but this one was totally awesome!

China + "2008" =?
>>man-power + symbolic creativity<<

When I first heard, "2008 drummers," I was like "woo!"
Later, when I heard "2008" martial art/ Tai Chi performers, I was like "2008? again?" Oh, don't get me wrong, the performers were amazing, especially the martial art/ Tai Chi performers. I agreed with the TV hosts when they commend the difficulty on having 10 people to make a circle, and there are 2008 of them. In fact, they make a perfect circle, regardless how constant they need to change their location during their performance.

「百鳥歸巢」

中國民族，文化，歴史，哲學... 盡在鳥巢，與國際交流，並薪火相存...

It makes me want to go to London for its opening ceremony in 2012, but at the same time I am worried that the British workers may continue their boycott... hmm... anyway...

"You and Me"

"One World One Dream"

Let's show your Olympics spirit!
