Awesome is such an over used and miss used word especially in the States where every exciting event seems to be "awesome". Well yesterday's Olympic opening ceremony in Beijing fully justified the term. It was incredibly awesome!
In our day when computer graphics have taken hold of Hollywood and most other presentation techniques it was even more amazing to see the Chinese use manpower and ingenuity to achieve even more inspiring spectacles. And then the finale was just breathtaking - flying a man around the "Bird's Nest" to land perched by the foot of the torch to ignite the spirit of Olympia - brilliant.
Now if only they could fix that pollution.
