Didn't watch the opening ceremony on telly, so downloaded the main part (skipping all the athletes)..
The first 10~15mins was great, but the rest just became a bit of a yawn.. For me, the highlights were the drums, the scroll at the start, and the arena..
Found the English commentators really annoying.. The woman bitched heaps about China, and the guy said nothing intelligent at all..
eg. "Keep watching this bit".. We got no choice.. It's a fuckin' broadcast, we watch what we're show!! And "That was something".. Yeah, most things are..
I've never seen so many fireworks my whole life
If you are ever in Osaka on the 1st of August, check out the PL Hanabi in Tondabayashi.. That has 6times the amount of the opening ceremony.. (Been twice)
Jap vs. USA
How hard is it to add an "an"?? Or just write JPN..
