Beijing Olympics 2008 and Updates!
Dear awesome readers,
WOW, I just finished watching the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics 2008. I did not watch it in China contrary to what some of you thought =) I watched it from the comfort of my house! Did you managed to catch it? I made my dad come back early just so that we can eat dinner early and watch the olympics in time!
The show was just fantastic. Every detail was so intricate from the countdown to the fireworks. They did an awesome job integrating China's history with the opening ceremony. They started off with ancient China and slowly progressed to modern China. Effects were off the hook! And I was really surprised to see Sarah Brighman (she sang Time to Say Goodbye with Andrea Bocelli) sing the theme song.

I've also heard from you guys that the pictures take really long to upload. Trust me, I am WORKING on it. I'm searching for new ways to make them load faster without compromising on size and quality.
Also a word of thanks to all of you that have been following this month long post. Its really encouraging to read all your nice comments on how you enjoyed the photos despite the time it takes to load! I do try to reply to every comment but sorry if I accidentally left you out.
Thats all from me now. And I shall leave you with nothing else than another photo. I took this in China also through a frosted window. It was in the morning so the sunlight gave a really nice yellow glow.
Cheers,
Stanley

ReplyDeleteim sure it was hard to leave beautiful China, but also a pleasure to sleep in your own bed. I really love the photo! That is a very creative idea! (:
ReplyDeleteThe opening ceremony was indeed great. I heard China spent almost 300 USD for that opening ceremony.
ReplyDeleteAnother great capture and have a nice week ahead stanley.
YEah Rachel, I was really sad when the trip ended! You could always incorporate "ideas" you find here into your own photography!=)
ReplyDeleteLawstude, I did read that they spent more than 300 billion! But I was worth it I guess. I just wish I was there live =)
