I am totally psyched about this year's Olympic Games. Every Chinese person in the world is stoked about this year's Olympic Games. Beijing hosting is just that freaking awesome. Yeah i'm definitely being bias cos I'm chinese, but I gotta say, its kicking soooo muuuuch ASS.
I'm watching the opening ceremony live as I type and it just rocks my face off. This is why China freaking owns. No other country could host an Olympic Games and make it more epic than China makes it. Its all about the man power here. Theres just so many people, and watching them all do martial arts so perfectly synchronized. Thats just awesome.
But in my opinion, our ace is... the fireworks. Your talking about the country that probably makes all of the world's fireworks. We're freaking fireworks capital of the world b!tch! I am compeltely positive we'll pull off a fireworks display no other country can. And just by watching the little bit I've seen so far, I already know its gonna freaking rock.
Being in Hong Kong (essentially a part of China) and watching it live totally makes it so much better. And being Chinese really makes it seem 10x more awesome. You get to be able to notice the more subtle and obscure parts of the ceremony that are strictly chinese and no foreignor would ever understand. Like the countries being led out in a seemingly random order. Its actually in Chinese "alphabetical" order. Its in order of number of strokes for first character of the country. If you know Chinese or Japanese Kanji, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Well, this is just a piece of whats going on through my head right now. But apart from this, I'm not actually that interested in any of the events. Mainly just basketball, and the sports China owns at: table tennis and diving
. Thats all I have to say for now. So later.
