I wouln't exactly say that I was overly impressed with the opening ceremony. I love Sarah, I hated the National Anthem bit really like Nikki, loved KD Lang, loved the whales and the Spirit bear but I was really embarrassed for all Canadians at the end when one of the towers wouldn't come up for the lighting of the inside cauldron. Mistakes happen, but hey, the world is watching, ya know????

Overall, it gave the impression that we are all living amongst ice and snow in igloos. Sorry if that insults some Canadians...it's just the impression that I got. I have other observations but will keep it to myself.
