So here are a few random things that stood out to me:

• The guy with the red turban during Canadian's segment was cool. At least, the turban was. I love the simplicity of Canada's color scheme.
  
• It was pretty cool the way China had a really tall guy as their flag bearer.
  
• Denmark is one of the most competitive non-Asian nations in Badmitton
  
• Djibouti is one of my favorite country names, and the commentators on the channel I was watching agreed.
  
• Baseball is the most popular sport in the Dominican Republic? I didn't know that.
  
• Some clothing was really foreign, such as some African nations. I liked the diversity.
  
• It was a bit confusing when Macedonia appeared in the F section, but then the commentators explains that the country's technical name was Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia.
  
• Heil Deutschland!
  
• Actually, I loved how Germany had female athletes in pink and male athletes in blue.
  
• One of the Honduras athletes was a college roommate of Mark Zuckerberg.
  
• I look forward to seeing the Icelandic athletes.
  
• OH MY GOD THE INDEPENDANT OLYMPIC ATHLETES WERE SO COOL!
  
• Israel's flagbearer had a really cool tatoo. I normally think that tattoos are dump, but if I made it into the Olympics I would put a mark on my skin that would last the rest of my life to commemorate it.
  
• YAY! USAINE BOLT IS JAMAICA'S FLAGBEARER! BEST FLAGBEARER EVER!
  
• I feel sorry for Libya. The turmoil that's been plaguing their country clearly reflects in the number of athletes they have been able to send.
  
• It's cool to see a tiny country like Luxembourg. I'm going to have to find out what events they're in so I can keep track. Hey, if you blink you'll miss it.
  
• Leve Nederland! being of Dutch Heritage, I was obviously very excited. I will be keeping very close track of the Netherlands and rooting for their athletes. One of the commentators had a wife who was Dutch, which was really cool. I loved their orange jackets and I was looking foreward to their flag for the entire ceremoney up until that point. I'm so happy to be Dutch.
  
• Puerto Rico is it's own country in the Olympics? Cool. I liked their white suites.
  
• Coincidentally, the Rwandan flagbearer looked like Don Cheadle.
  
• San Marino's in the Olympics, so why isn't the Vatican? Just kidding.
  
• The Solomon Island had cool clothes. One of the guys died his beard, and their flagbearer was cool.
  
• I'm loving the guy from Spain wearing a pink wig.
  
• Turkey might host a future Olympics. It would make it the first Islamic country to do so. That would be very interesting. I hope the best for them.
  
• The Ukrainian flagbearer had a cool hat.
  

United States of America:

The first thing noticed were, of course, the uniforms. They weren't quite what I was expecting. I was really thinking I was going to see something similar to Germany, with people in athletic clothes, but everyone was .wearing white pants, navy blue jackets, and berets. It didn't feel so American, but then I figured it resembles military attire to some degree, so in a way it makes sense, though I don't like to think of Olympic athletes being presented the same way. Then I found out that they were made in China, which was shaming. For what it was worth, though, they were cool berets.

Michael Phelps, of course, couldn't afford to walk, as well as other swimmers and gymnasts.

Hey, Romney, great to see you there. I never thanked you for the 2002 Salt Lake City Winder Olympics.

United Kingdom:

At first I noticed their white uniforms, which looked fitting, and they were basically what I was expecting from America, but then I was blown away by their sheer numbers. Who knew that such a small country could send in so many? It was like a mass of people, like a dozen countries put together. Then they were wearing all white with gold highlights and moving through the masses of other countries wearing darker colors.
