Opening Ceremony reaches fever pitch
Last night was the dress rehearsal for the Opening Ceremony, which was viewed by 70,000 lucky volunteers. You see it was a dress rehearsal for all the systems of the Olympic stadium and not just the ceremony.
Friends of mine that were there said that it was an amazing spectacle that brought tears in their eyes, they did not want to spoil the surprise for the rest of us (unlike some journalists) and give me more details of the Ceremony.
Needless to say that On Friday night, I will report what I witnessed in the Ceremony, yes I will be there :-)
