I remember how beautiful the opening of 88 Seoul Olympiad, was very impressive and colorful, we were very pleased to see first time Korea so open and close.
As to Sculptures, you sometimes can't guess what the creator thought what is his message. When I see such sculptures outside that reminds me for example Easter Island stone faces, then I just think may that were also sculptures of someone and was just placed there without any meaning.
Can you imagine what the future generation or may be aliens will think when they see our sculptures on the Earth :)
