Talking Heads

It was a wonderful event, a real pleasure and honor for me to attend the opening ceremony.

Something like an opening ceremony could easily be quite boring, but Zhang Yimou really made it like a Hollywood movie. I have little memory of Athens and Sydney openings, but this time in Beijing, it was really memorable.

Holding the Games is great for China. Everything is running so smoothly and all the stadiums are beautiful. Water Cube is amazing. When they light it up at night, it's just incredible.
