Shanghai collectively kicked its heels up last night as the grand opening
ceremony of the Beijing Olympics unfolded, culminating in a dazzling,
state-of-the-art fireworks display.
For more than three hours, the whistles and cheers didn't stop in every
corner of Shanghai, from outdoor plazas in the city center to communities, pubs
and universities. Shanghai locals and expats were out in full force to show
their support for both China and the Olympics.
