Yay! Beijing Olympic's opening ceremony is tomorrow and I can't wait. I love watching the Olympic's opening ceremony and I predict Beijing will put on a fantastic show rich with cultural elements. My first time watching the Olympic opening ceremony live (on TV of course) was in 1984 when it was held LA. Since it was in LA (where Hollywood is) the ceremony was fantabulous.
I didn't get to see the Seoul Olympic opening live in 1988 since my boss decided to have a meeting on that day. I only got to see the repeat, nevertheless, to date that was the most fantastic opening I have ever seen. Simply beautiful.
I got to see the Barcelona's opening in 1992 and I remember I had to wake up in the middle of the night to watch it live. It was rich with theatrical elements. Most memorable part of the ceremony was the lighthing of the olympic flame when it was lighted by an archerer from a distance.
In 1996, it was held in Atlanta. It was a good show but I actually don't remember anything about it.
The Sydney 2000 Olympic opening was also good but there were parts which were boring especially the aborigine's dance.
I watch the Athen's opening in 2004 but like the Atlanta's show I don't remember anything.
