    Definitely the GOAT! Paris Opening Ceremony just reminded the world how fortunate it was that Beijing hosted the Games.

    The best Olympic opening ceremony in the 120 years of the Games. From Colombia.

    8 years later it still stands as the best (and most expensive) ceremony ever.

    I had the pleasure of visiting Beijing in 2012 and until this day its hard for me to believe I was there! I'm from Mexico by the way and that was the first time my family and I had the opportunity to a different continent and it was amazing! very kind people, the temples the landscapes, delicious food obviously the great wall etc etc like I said, I still can't believe I was there, and by 'there' I mean the bird's nest stadium which in my opinion is like a huge peace of art simply beautiful so watching this makes me think of that and I miss it very much. Amazing show by the way obviously. Have a great day.
