Perfect Seat in the Bird's Nest

"Beep"...yes...ticket legitimate!

Almost all of my 91,000 fellow opening ceremony olympic ticket holders were seated already so therefore I had no waiting time as I entered security. Another short subway trip north under the Olympic Green and an exciting walk with my first glimpse of the aquatics Cube with brilliant changing colors before entering the Bird’s Nest.  My seat was perrrrfect, just behind and a bit above the olympic flag pole. I was speechless as I made my way to my seat with Hong Kong International School parents to my right and a large Saudi Arabia contingency to my left.

And then quite simply, (you all saw it) the opening ceremony began and...
CHINA WOWED THE WORLD!
