i'm coming out!
i want the world to know
i gotta let it show!
--China singing to the world
i was awestrucked by the beijing olympics opening ceremony! it was breathtaking! i wasn't even surpised to see scores of performers doing tai chi, kung fu and chinese peking opera dance in perfect synchrony. there are hundreds or even thousands of them and i'm not exaggerating! oh well its china we're talking about here.hahahaha!! seriously, i was having goosebumps the whole time. it's like watching farewell my concubine and hero with loads of fireworks display and computer effects. galing lang!!
china didn't just flaunt its rich culture and history, it was also able to successfully display its wealth. this years olympics is not just an athletics event, it is a political statement. this is china's idea of "show of force" because brandishing of missles and nuclear weapon arsenal is sooo passe. china is now banking on soft powers to assert their global might and there is no way it could be stopped. tuloy tuloy na to hanggang sa maging siopao at pancit bihon na ang staple food sa buong mundo! wahahahahaha!!! peace :)
after this "coming out party" of china, what now can the world expect from this awakened dragon? we'll find out soon, after the shindig.*wink*
P.S. chinese taipei (taiwan) sent a delegation to the beijing olympics and as i've observed they are warmly welcomed. does this mean that china is finally accepting taiwan's claim to statehood and separation from the main land?omg!!! this olympics is indeed a political statement.
