Brisbane River Festival


Hi again...this time i would like to talk about the annual Brisbane River Festival....which me and my 2 friends Yu Leng and Sally went to on Saturday... Though it is named the river festival...its actually nothing to do with any water body or any performance on water...instead i heard it starts with a flyby from a fighter jet...dunno whats the model (F something...) and 30min of nonstop fireworks.... (quite stupid...they should just call it the "Fireworks Festival" or something).....Anyway I arrived late though as i need to finish my stupid eco report and as typical singaporeans, they went to chop a place at South Bank 2 hrs earlier (started at 7pm...). Although i arrived quite early by my standards....i was quite shocked to see tons of people there...and i couldn find them until 30min later (saw CCM members on the way...Hi guys!!!).... So while we were waiting for the fireworks to start....they want me to try their $1 bread that they bought earlier...(i sense something sinister but i tried it and well...it sux). Can't understand why they like it....maybe they nv eat bread for a long time....

So the fireworks started and well, its kind of good (at least better than NDP...but pales in comparison to tokyo disneyland...). After that, we kind of like stuck in the middle at the end of the performance.... and i even have to use my low wall technique in SOC to take a shortcut and to avoid the crowd. My day ends with an $8 fish and chips pack (10% fish, 90% chips)....


Here are some pictures:
