Thanks guys So we have 3 people in traditional outfits: The girl (Yessy Yospautra) is wearing Lampung traditional outfit, the middle one in Papuan outfit, and the left one... dunno (maybe it's modified). And the whole Indonesian netizens are talking about how athletes from other countries are taking photos with Yessy

Lol ! It's between Lenchu or Karma though

The ceremony is certainly not as big as London or even Beijing, but still a festival The Parade of Nations was somehow in slower pace, maybe because of the music. Love the cauldron, just hoping it is a bit bigger The only problem was the censorship in Indonesian TV (Giselle Bundchen got blocked by with a white square and the ceremony is cut after the hoisting of the Olympic flag, fearing the butts of Samba dancers )

I knew that, during History lessons at school we were taught about the referendum.. Australian and Portuguese reaction etc, etc.. And actually most Timorese people are generally friendly to Indonesians, and I knew a Timorese customer from my father's shop who decorated his motorcycle extensively with flag of Timor Leste. (This should be in the off-topic )

Another big catch

Just like me Well since this is not Wikipedia, let's have fun in finding them I know the IOC will release the list before/after the ceremony later, and don't worry because I'll try finding and verifying the sources for flag bearers which we got from FB/emails

Personally I think there are some better candidates, but just let them choose the flag bearer... Sometimes there are countries which won't let their top athletes to carry the flag, ordering them to focus in getting the medals. Some others don't really care and want to make sure their best athlete appear in TV even if he/she is competing tomorrow in the morning . It depends on the country (and the officials). Talking about criteria in choosing the flag bearer, I think China has the best one: "must be a tall and handsome man" Btw, welcome to Totallympics

Yes. About 50.. I'm just curious how we'll be able to get the flag bearers from some "dark hole of information" area like for example

Yeah.. It's him, different romanization I think it's not official, I've just read a few articles that confirms he's just candidate.

Even worse in Indonesia, most of them only know the top 10-15 badminton players and the European football stars. Phelps and Bolt gained popularity here during Beijing 2008, but no one really cares about London 2012 except badminton and weightlifting (and football maybe :P)... And also not until London 2012 Paralympics and Sochi 2014 most of people here know that Paralympics and Olympic Winter Games do exist. As a big fan of the Olympics, I feel I am living in the wrong place because the ratings are low thus making it hard to watch the Olympics...

Usually they have a separate village or accommodation for Sailing...
