It was nice to see the pride Qataris had in their country and a celebration of Asian culture. The horse thing was really cool. I saw it on one of the commercials for the games and was surprised they were actually going to do it. The horse almost gave up close to the top, but fortunately it made its way. I usually lend a critical eye toward stuff here, but watching the opening ceremony was pretty pleasant. It was also funny to see Ahmedinejad, Haniya, and Asad all at the same place.
