Here's how some users of China's Sina Weibo microblog site felt about the start of the London Olympics:

? Onlooker: "I was most impressed by the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games which cost only $42 million ? less than half of what was spent at the Beijing Olympic Games."

? Timo in a dream: "Compared to the Beijing Olympic Games, I like the opening ceremony of the London Games which interprets the culture in a simple way and it's easy to understand."

? Fan Fan: "The cost of the London Olympic Games was decided by British taxpayers, but Chinese taxpayers did not even know the cost of the Beijing Games."

? Liurong: "Two different styles, what the Beijing games brought to people was unparalleled."
