08.08.08 - A Day To Remember

08 August 2008: -
"Beijing welcomed the world to the Games of the 29th Olympiad on August 8 with an Opening Ceremony. Athletes from 204 National Olympic Committees marched through the Bird's Nest led by the flags of countries from around the world."

I watched the live opening ceremony on TV just now. Wow...I would say it was awesome and fantastic. Very beautiful! It's something we only can see once every 4 years, it's worth the time watching. The 'Bird Nest' was full, approximately 91000 people were there. History was made!
