Subject: Re: Beijing 2008! Simply AMAZING Opening Ceremony

 

I remember the Korean Opening Ceremony - it was sooooooooo beautiful. And yes China did very well.

However, for having seen a documentary about the difficulties linked with the construction of the Olympic Stadium, where anyone living in the area was evacuated without much attention, with a promise for a new home somewhere, promise which seems to have remained just a promise for I don't know exactly how many of them, and these people despaired on the streets as a result ... I could not help remembering, feeling sad to know that this Chinese Opening Ceremony was not a celebration for all involved.
