Brisbane festival

　

 Hi, guys.

 There was the biggest festival called Brisbane festival in the state of Queensland the other day. It last over about twe weeks, apparently. I actually didn't know about it at all in spite of having been here for ages. I happened to be there on the last day of the festival. And luckily, I could watch the big fireworks display at the site which was so beatiful. I've been many fireworks event in Japan before, but here was not like the ones I've watched before. Thousands of fireworks was shot on the roof of the skyscrappers in Brisbane city.

 In the afternoon, there was a show of stealth jets in the sky over the town. When it started, it sounded like a huge earth rumbling!! I really thought that some terrorist showed up and tried to crashed the high building in town like 9/11 attacks in NY, America. I was completely reminded of that at that moment. I was totally freaked out as I didn't know the show coming up!!

 On another note, there were so many events and performance show in many areas throughout the venue. I didn't actually go inside... yea, i know I should've.. I didn't want to get involved in the huge crowd!!

 Next year?? Maybe...

  この前、ブリスベン祭という大きなお祭りがこっちでありました。祭りといえば夏の風物詩ですが、こっちにもこんなでっかい催しがあったなんて知らなかった。もう結構こっちにいるんですが・・・。ということで、たまたま最終日に行ったら、今まで見たことも無いような人ごみ、昼間っから上空を戦闘機が旋回してるし、夜は街の色んな高層ビルから花火が打ちあがって、「なんか海外やなぁ」なんて思いながら見てました。

　他にも、色んなショーや屋台、パフォーマンスなんかのイベントも敷地内にたくさんあって、日によって催しが変わっていくみたいです。

　最終日は土曜の夜だったんで、街中が人で溢れてましたね。色んな意味で楽しかった日でした。
