August 8 usually carry a 50% chance of rain in the city of Beijing and the $400 million, 91,000-seat Bird Nest has no roof. The Chinese government just cannot sit there and let the rain ruin what could be the most spectacular Olympic Games Opening Ceremony ever.
While everybody just talk about the weather, the Chinese actually did something about it to guarantee clear sky for the Opening Ceremony last night, as they know a brilliant Opening means everything for the success of the Beijing Olympic Games.
They manipulated the weather by firing over 1,000 rain dispersal rockets on the day to blow away rain clouds. As a result, no rain during the entire Opening while the suburbs of Beijing had torrential rain throughout the evening.
The Opening Ceremony was attended by thousands watched by millions more on TV last night. The nitty gritty details of the showcase, the breakthrough and the creativity within, are going to be the talk of town over the next few days or even weeks.
China did it. They explored and orbited the moon, suppressed the rain, organised their first Olympic Games.
I think they are up for anything now.
