It was the opening ceremony of the 16th Guangzhou Asian Games last night.
Security is super tight in China, they made everyone gather from 2pm for a 6pm start.
I guess it's worse for residents living around the stadium. All of they including hotel guests at the Ritz Carlton had to leave the hotel and homes until the whole event ended at 11pm.
It was a whole housing estate (think the whole of Telok Kurau).
Yes.. paying all that money for a high end flat in a high end part of town doesn't pay for front row seats at an event next door to you.
Anyways, the show was ok and the fireworks were disappointing.
I leave you with a photograph which sums up the mood i'm getting from the system here which is robotic.
Don't get me wrong, the city is pretty and the people nice but the whole vibe here is a little machine-like.

The fireworks is said to be one of the grandest and I bet most Singaporeans have never seen this scale of fireworks...
