The opening ceremonies were amazing!! I just watched it on TV, but my hotel is right next door to the Bird’s Nest, so I was able to see a great fireworks show. The fireworks were actually shaking the hotel! It was cool. There was a lot of security around the venues and outside our hotel. There were helicopters flying over us all day, and you couldn’t walk 10 feet on the sidewalk without seeing a police officer–they were everywhere.
