Dear UK,

I would just like to thank you. After Beijing, we all wondered how you could possibly top the opening ceremonies. Except you knew that and you therefore didn't even try. Because you didn't need to. Last night was honest, true, beautiful and completely understandable even without commentary.

So thanks, for reminding the world that you can blow your Olympics budget on security and architecture and still pull off a great show. I look forward to the closing ceremonies, and I've never said that before.

P.S. You get a new tag!

I'm SO glad they didn't try. I taped the ceremony and plan to watch it all today.

I hope it's the complete version. I know there were issues that not everywhere showed the entire 3.5 hours (to be fair, an hour of that is athletes walking around).

I think it is the second favourite opening ceremonies ever. [I'm Canadian, so my favourite is Vancouver, because Montreal isn't worth remembering.]

Enjoy!
