It is local time so it should be 8 am Eastern Time zone in US tomorrow, If I don't make a mistake. In that CST = China Standard Time.

Warning: many people said that they didn't see it in the real opening ceremony so it could be fake. It has been removed from youtube but another person uploaded here. If you watch the ceremony live, you may confirm if it's true or not

I loved the opening ceremony! Made me speechless. I liked the part with the torch and the moving blocks which was moved by people! sunny Very Happy Smile
