A shot from the World Games Opening Ceremony. I traded tickets with one of the other foreign volunteers at the last minute, and managed to get into this sold-out event. There were some other spectacular scenes tonight, but I decided to put up this one because it seemed so silly. You see, they chose different dance routines and aboriginal performances that reflect Taiwanese culture and history, which makes sense. And for one of these performances, they chose to highlight their traditional puppets, which doesn't make sense. You see, these are puppets about a foot in height, in a stadium that seats 44,000. Luckily, my seat was front and center, so I could just barely make them out.
