Hello humanoids . I must say job well done China ! A breathtaking opening ceremony and now a marvelous closing ceremony . The ceremony started with fireworks , the Premier of China was there and so was their special guest : The IOA president . The ceremony was was pretty calm and composed . They had various formations and every dance had a meaning : it either depicted a story or had a read life influence . The most attractive part was the use of lights , brilliant !
Then came the Olympians , i.e. the athletes,etc , waving their flags proudly , they would look back when they prepared for the Beijing Olympics and when it is over they would surely be proud of themselves .
Lastly but not the least they had a song " Beijing , Beijing " , people were hanging in air , and special appearance was made by Jackie Chan who sang a song to my utter surprise :O There were few more singers who were definitely unknown to me but they did sing well actually .
And not to forget the last part of closing ceremony , the torch was handed to London as they will hold the next olympics in 2012 . The people from London were : David Beckham who came on a double decker bus ( this is how we call a bus which has another floor here in India ) , and as far as i know he even did kick a ball and i came to know the David Beckham is more famous than any other star or celeb in China , then there was Leona Lewis singing here way through, and so were the Led Zeppelin legend and the guitar lord Page were present too .
So that was a brieft summary of the Closing Ceremony , the people of Chine deserve a round of applause for whatever they have done to achieve such a successful Olympic game .
Now lets see how London prepares itself till 2012 , Good luck London !
Ah , i forgot about the main part .

great closing ceremony. Very beautiful although I am not really happy with the opening ceremony where they used fake fireworks and old videos for those watching via TV.
Another dazzling display by the Chinese organizers! I wonder what London will do to outdo this?
The Olympic flame may have been extinguished and the athletes have gone home, but in roughly a week’s time, another world-class competition will come alive in the same venues. Another group of world-class athletes are waiting in the wings, eagerly anticipating for their turn at the world stage of Beijing for the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games.
