We're watching the #openingceremony of the #Olympics. It's something I've never done before so I'm curious.

My minimal expectations are: Celine Dion, a giant inflatable croissant, that footballer (check, he's on now), some Édith Piaf (La vie en rose), bunch of happy children, and fireworks shooting out of the Eiffel tower.

We'll see.

Edit: fireworks from a bridge. That's ok. Lot of water spraying. Let's hope there's no poop in there
