Para olympic opening

Before the Winter Olympic became an archive in our memories, I should just write something about the only Olympic event that I actually attend, the Para Olympic Opening.

To be honest, the show itself is not that spectacular, if you want to compare to large scale show like the Beijing Olympic, or even the regular Winter Olympic opening. The atmosphere is warm though. Everyone keeps cheering for the teams for the entire time during their grand entrance. I almost lost my voice on that and my hands are tired for flicking the pom pom light (as part of the welcome kit) for an hour.

The most inspiring part of the show is that there is some hip-hop dance performed by a person who only has one leg. If he can dance, why can't we? I think that is the most touching part.

Overall, I enjoyed the show.
