truly mesmerized by the spectacular olympic opening ceremony. the grandness of it all...

anyway, I was wondering why the local singer dressed so casually when singing the theme song together with sarah brightman on top of the 'globe'. just a simple black t-shirt and pants.. the contingents parade was really unique, the countries were marching based on the number of strokes it takes to write their names in chinese. there was no way for me to guess which country would march in next. it was such an educational show as well, there were so many countries whose names I never heard before.. hmmm...
