I really enjoyed the show last nightMr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) never fails to make me laugh!
And James Bond (Daniel Craig) meeting the Queen and jumping from the helicopter!!!
But the best one for me is the lighting of the copper petals which comprises the Olympic cauldron..WOW! I never expected that.
I'm actually jealous that my home country, Philippines, would never be able to host such an event like this. I remember asking my dad when I was younger when can we host the Olympics and he just laughed at me and told me "We don't have the place and obviously the money to do it". I think you guys should just stop moaning a bit and be glad that your country can host a great display of sports for the whole world to see. A lot of sports fanatics in the Philippines, including me, wishes we have the ability to do that, especially now that sports in the Philippines is lacking a lot of funding for any sports events, except for Manny Pacquiao of course, (which I'm sure he uses his own money in promoting the sports). Like what Terpe said, I don't think there would be any difference whether UK host it or not. Just be proud you got it this year and of course not forgetting the Diamond Jubilee earlier.
By the way, I'm rooting for Brazil in the women's volleyball..they've always been my favorite ever since Leila Barros
