Coming into the Olympics this year, it was
difficult to imagine that London England could top the spectacle that was the
2008 Beijing games. But after watching the
opening ceremonies of the 2012 Olympiad earlier tonight, I think they
did. Showcasing the history and modern culture of one of the most exciting
nations on Earth, this ceremony was able to remind people that even
through the economic uncertainty, there is hope. In the first of daily
posts throughout the games, I will breakdown the ceremony and what lies ahead
over the next 16 days.
