After searching for some time, I finally found video of the Olympic opening ceremonies online. I had heard that they were spectacular. They were. And quite touching. And although I couldn't find a taping of it in its entirety (you suck, NBC), I did feel that I got a sense of its enormity and grandeur. And also how proud they are of their country and to host the Olympics.
You may think that they have far to go to be proud. But you have no idea how far they have come. Further than any other country in the world.
It reminded me that the last time I was in Beijing, I saw the Mongolian Olympic team on their way to Sydney.
