One of the interesting aspects of the ceremonies is being reminded of a whole bunch of countries that you never heard of or forgot existed.

we where watching it on the 80" holoscreen at the bar. that stuff with the boxes was crazy. i was sitting next to the girl and i told her that i thought that it was some computer controled system and then the people poped out. i was dumbfounded.

there where so many countries i didn't know about.

I don't think we'll ever see another opening ceremony like that again.

why do you say that?

 

[Moe Ghoul]

why do you say that?

I can't recall an opening ceremony that matched what they did. 15,000 performers, that amazing LED mat, the artistry, the incredible lightshow. I'd think its a tough act to follow.

every time there i ceremony they have to out do the previous one. there have been some incredible advancements in lighting in the last four years. so there where a lot of tools availible that where not there before. some of the stuff that companies have in the pipline are pretty cool so there will be event more tools availible in two years.

In the land of 1.4 billion people can you can probably get as many people as you want!
