10th May 2008
Since we heard that there will be another fireworks display in this event, as a fireworks lover, of course i won't miss it.
Seriously, i went there totally because of the fireworks display and i don't know what is it about... Anw, I've found some info regarding this event before i update this post, haha, or else there will really just pictures without any description.
To be precise, the world expo was a world fair which held in Brisbane in 1988 and it was situated in Southbank, which is along the Brisbane River. 2008 is its 20th Anniversary, so they have a huge celebration for this remarkable event. Haha, the event is at the same age as me!
Ok, back to the event, they had numerous events on the celebration. They even had a 80's movie marathon at the Cultural Forecourt (which i found out just a field..) showing some unforgettable movies that we watched long time ago. For example, ET and Back to the Future. It was showing 'Back to the future' when i reached.
Actually it is quite nice to sit on the field and watch movies with friends, a new experience for me! =)
Besides movies, there are also some huge display of pictures regarding the World Expo 88 along the bougainvillea arches of the South Bank Arbour. I just took a few of them.

Piazza
Lunch-time Parade
We saw this statue hanging high in the sky, and the whole feeling of the picture turns out to be so romantic when i tried to take it using my handphone's camera! haha!

The guy there was dancing chicken dance (is it called chicken dance?)
some pictures of the fireworks, sorry, no video this time.
Besides that, there was also concert by the 80's Australian classic band, which i don't know who are they. Anw, i did enjoy myself listening to their performance. When we reached the piazza, a group of band was singing and when their performance ended, we wanted to leave but suddenly, a man suddenly told me that the upcoming band is more famous than this one, and their performance will be even nicer and interesting than this. So, we decided to stay and enjoy the events. It was nice, expecially when everyone there really danced along with the performance. We even saw a few couples dancing and enjoying themselves. They can dance well leh!
You can see how many people actually enjoying themselves there! There was a huge crowd and the seats of the piazza were full, we were just standing outside.
The following pictures were some random pictures we took there....too wu liao....

we enjoy using the effects of the camera to take these pictures. =P
