Did you watch the Olympics opening ceremony?

[Medusa]

It was truly spectacular, all the synchronized movements of 2008 people on the field at a time, all the fireworks, the world's largest LED screen unscrolling centerfield, the parade of nations with all the different countries and uniforms, the children singing, and it was all amazing. My very favorite part, though, was Yao Ming, who is 7 1/2 feet tall, and was the flag bearer for the Chinese, walking with the little boy from the earthquake, 20 of whose classmates out of 30 who were killed, but who not only dug himself out, but then went back to help others. After they completed their circuit of the stadium and went into the center, Yao Ming picked him up, so he could see the rest of the ceremony high above the others in Yao Ming's arms. That simple gesture was my favorite part.

I agree w/you, Karen. That's something that little boy will remember forever, won't he? I was really moved by that.

So was I!! That little boy was so proud
I always watch opening & closing ceremonies. This one was very impressing, everything was so well synchronised!!
