Some comments on the 16th Asian Games

It is amazing but what a waste of money.
Oh gosh, can you even imagine how much money they spent on those lights and dancers...what the heck happened with those ancient Greek games that were just as good as this?” It is amazing. It shows what China can do now. But it is a waste of money really. There are so many places in China where money can be well spent than this. It is a rich people's show. ” -----this is a comment from Boston.com. Some people think China should pay more attention to their country construction, not waste the money on this kind of face works! 

“Also, there are a lot of comments with political idea. In my personal opinion, China spend their money on this ceremony, they want to show their enthusiasm and the warmest welcome to their friend countries, not a waste of money. We hope every audience will watch the Asian Game with an appreciation opinion” said by MR Kevin, the chairman of Dino Direct Company, the partner of 16th Asian Games.
