The mistake everyone makes with the opening ceremony is making it last 19 hours, and always doing the same thing - let off some fireworks, get loads of people wearing costumes to dance around a bit.
Not this time though, I've been watching, and this time its fireworks being let off while loads of people in costumes dance around a bit. Its magical.
And its only 19 hours long this time as well. So completely different to all the others.
And the commentator always goes 'and this part of the show represents the history of China, through the ages, and the twin powers of ying and yang, and the fire of the dragon that burns in the heart of blah blah'... and its some fireworks being let off while people in costumes dance around.
Enough with the fireworks and dancing!
