The Olympic Games started some hours ago, at 8 Pm, 08 / 08 / 08. Can’t hope for any better date and time eh those Chinese? :D Oh now that I think.. They could have set off at 08:08 Pm.. or even 08:08:08 Pm.. Guess they thought that would was gonna be too extreme in the end.

So, I was following the Opening Ceremony from my laptop, that is until I got bored - having to see 200+ countries’ athletes walk around can be quite tiresome as I found out.

However, I managed to record our dear Motherland’s athletes passage, lead by the sprinter Stéphane Buckland.

I uploaded it to YouTube and was gonna share it… but HEY! I just got a notification..

“International Olympic Committee has claimed some or all audio and visual content in your video Mauritius Team at Beijing 2008. This claim was made as part of the YouTube Content Identification program.

Your video is no longer available because International Olympic Committee has chosen to block it.”

DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*trying the upload on PhotoBucket now*

There you go, hopefully there won’t be any problems this time. :)

    I watched the whole ceremony yesterday.
    They didn’t say much about Mauritius. At least the number of people was alright… Some countries had only like 5 persons.
