Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang 2018

The Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea is summarized in this blog:

The large stage opened up with a huge bell at the center stage, lights focused on the bell. Five children were seen  flying a kite. It was told that the children lived in harmony. Then they showed a crystal bowl, the children went inside the cave. Inside the cave, the Korean heritage was revealed, constellations appeared, customs and traditions presented in symbolism: Dragon symbols and the sacred white Tiger led them to the past, what happened in the past will lead them to find out their origin. The dragon and the white tiger are their guardians to the unknown. The past was in  harmony, peace and resilience. Then they saw enchanted creatures of all kinds: the creatures and guardians of nature, the tiger, the dragon, the butterflies, insects, puppeteers and other animals. The representation is more than a fantasy. It's their traditional depiction of Winter Festival.

Introduction of Olympic Athletes for 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

Continuation of the Story of the FIVE CHILDREN and their journey through time.


 The gate of the sky opened up leading to the future where the five children has reached maturity and they lead a good life and they all are occupied in the modern high technology, employed in more than pleasing to whoever knew them. One of the children became a K pop star, the next child became a simulation specialist, another one is a specialist in holographic rather halography, artist and what happened to the other one? A gamer? Hmm, what could be? It's a bell. Didn't hear all what's been spoken? You can watch the replays on TV and find out on You tube? It's up to you.

Who are the five children they represent?
In Sochi Olympic Games, they only had 3 children and now they were 5.
When those five children had their lamps lit, drones appeared in the sky and formed into a shape of a giant surfer or skateboarder (like the silver surfer in the movie Fantastic 4). Then here comes the fast-tracking skiers rushing through from the mountain down the slopes with their "surprise ignited sparks that lighted the sky with the five rings symbolizing the OLYMPIC GAMES. Just one color bright white glitters sort of for the 5 rings  ? or could be symbol of crystals or diamonds?  Yeah, expect that they symbolized diamonds. Ha ha ! Crystal formation would be sufficiently for the coldest of temperature. Carbon for diamonds. What's your favorite gemstone?

The torch of fire lighted and then passed to South Korean Olympic athletes the relay of passing the torch reached the South Korean gold medalist, world renown figure skater Yuna Kim (Olympic Gold Medalist -Figure Skating) and the "melting pot" was finally on fire until the last day of the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang.

IF you can't uplift yourself
Lift up somebody else.
There are so many uplifting in this Olympic Games.
You wont believe how many fireworks were fired.
Grand spectacular fireworks and costly! I think they had the longest, most beautiful fireworks ever and they spent much on this fireworks than on the representation at the podium.
Fireworks display in this Opening Ceremony are already worth  millions of dollars or more. +
