    For the last few months, my boyfriend and I have been waiting for the opening ceremony. We figured China was going to go all out. We were not disappointed. Best. Opening. Ceremony. Ever.

    missed it on TV
    looks amazing!
    but the best/most moving shot for me was the one at the end - I guess that's why they put it there ...
