Fake fireworks.
No wonder I thought that the sky was too perfect for a smog-filled city.

Fake singing.

Got the mic some more! All out to SCAM!!!

And to think I gave so much praise to BJ (which I would otherwise have reserved) cos I sincerely thought that the opening ceremony was so well done. :(

I still have to say… the performers’ timeliness in the opening act (the golden drums) and the taichi item is applaudable. As a dancer (tho not a darn good one), timeliness is something that takes many many months/years to perfect! It’s not easy for thousands of people to do the same act at the same time, same speed, same angle, same force!! Super 齐! …But who knows, maybe they pre-recorded those too. :|

Anyhow, I’m still very disappointed…
