I missed last night's opening ceremony as I was on my way back from Perth to Canberra (a business trip). Now I am watching the ceremony from YouTube.
It was very impressive I have to say. The best bit so far was the "Chinese Character forming". Printing is one of four great inventions by Ancient Chinese (the other three are: paper making, compass, and gun powder), so it is not surprising for the organizer to show off. 3000 people, dressed in Ancient Confucian clothes, each holding a Chinese character, formed huge characters of "He" (means Peace in Chinese) with their bodies! Not only that, they showed how "He" looked like over time.
You have to see it yourself:
