Have you seen the torch lighting? It was pretty spectacular. Actually, all of the opening ceremonies were brilliantly done. The amount of work and thought that went into it was amazing. Everyone was so in sync that they almost looked mechanical.
Now I’m wondering how Vancouver will even come close to the spectacle that China pulled off. I wonder what the 2010 committee is thinking now. Maybe Celine will perform, or Ann Murray, or even better, Rita McNeil. Or that Barenaked Lady is a little more famous, maybe him. Can Canada even afford more than 5 minutes of fireworks? If I were them I would be hoping that everyone had short memories and everyone will have forgotten Beijing by the time the games roll around.
