I was in awe with the opening sequence of those flashing table/drum things. It's like they intentionally touched on the "sweat shop" aspect, and turned it into something to be proud of. Still made me feel weird, though.
The running guy and fireworks finale was awesome, though. This is the culture that gave us gunpowder, so I'm glad they didn't disappoint.
As for the rest of the games, I know China is going to do it's best to look good for the next 2 weeks, but I'm afraid of somebody over-reacting during a protest and stirring up some crazy shite. I'm also interested to see if the smog is really going to be a factor.
