It must be me but I was a bit bored by it actually. Maybe it was just me not being in the mood for it but Sydney was 5 times better in my opinion.

It would have to be one of the UGLIEST outfits of all the Countries.

You weren't the only one bored Risa, hence the reason why I fell asleep... and this was the replay that I watched :lol:

I saw the lighting of the cauldron and the flag thing this morning, and my old man taped it so I can watch it whenever i want...

Kaz, so that's why I felt like eating lollies when I saw them! :lol:

I taped it and watched it in the morning. You're not the only one who didn't want to stay up all night!

Things I liked about the opening ceremony:-

The 4 chicks playing the string instruments at the start.....
The pregnant chick with the glowing belly
The history of Greece bit (speshally the stone figures coming to life)
The olympic rings on fire
The Greek crowd going a little quieter when Turkey came in (Greece and Turkey hate each other with a passion)

Things I didnt like.....

Bjork.....seriously what was the story there.....
The olympic flame.....looks like a giant....ummm....marital aid?
Lack of gay but catchy songs (like Sydney)
Oh and one more....Rebecca Wilson.....please....she has got NO idea.....

bjork is alright...her older music is great. i dunno about the "sweat is salty" song though...

having a dj play the music as the athletes came out was a great idea.

and the crowd...the crowd was funny. iraq got a great applause, but then when iran came in it was virtually silent...
