This was the best Opening Ceremony I ever saw on chemistry olympiads. Not too long, not boring, not monotonic, they showed us their traditional stuff and it was exciting. Of course not everyone liked it, but it will never happen that everyone likes it.
So, the awesomeness started when we arrived to the building: There were university students standing in the entrance hall to applaud for us and the Dean of the Faculty of Chemistry, V.V. Lunin standed there to greet us. As I went in, we shook hands. The others from our team did not, because they passed us and went on.
This was an amazing gesture for us, we really felt esteemed.
The ceremony itself consisted of several speeches, mostly on Russian. These were translated so that everyone understood it. The translator lady had a hard time translting stuff in real time, as for some speeches seemed to be done that way. It was ok though.
We saw several performances on stage, including balett, lite-show, balancing and something with parrots. This one was funny, I never saw anything like it.
The balett was performed by some dancers and a lot of little girls. They were great.
