It was brilliant, shame about the people attempting to protest earlier on today at the first few events.

I thought it was some pretty amazing stuff. Heard they spent in excell of 300 million dollars for the show. Just mind boggling.

The $40 billion price tag also includes the price of shutting down all of Beijing for 20 days.

I heard that the Chinese government intend housing the poorest in the Olympic village once the Games are over and making the sporting facilities available to the public at large.

That is not only in Beijing but elsewhere where specialist sports are housed as well.

So $40 billion is further massively reduced by this.

Not to mention the improvements made in infra-structure. (Roads, Water, Electricity etc.,)

My wife and I actually bought our Plasma TV just a few days before. Have to say watching the opening was an instant highlight that really showed off just how amazing the TV looked and what can be done in HD. Overall was beautiful.
