It was a fluke that I was able to watch the fireworks from Sydney as the Aussies rang in 2014. You see...
I woke up at 4:15AM after sleeping on the couch for no apparent reason. I woke up The Calvinator to give him his pill and walk him and decided to head the gym. Well, I got there and they were closed. I remembered they were closing early today but didn't realize they were opening late. So, I went home and streamed the fireworks from Sydney. 7:00AM is 12:00AM there.
I saw an interview about the cost of the display. $6M (AUS) was spent and for the first time in 10 years the iconic Sydney Opera House was aglow with pyrotechnics. 2014 marks the 40th anniversary of the Opera House which was controversial when it was built.
My love affair with Sydney continues. It was rather fitting that my the beginning of the last day of 2013 was started with fireworks from The Land Down Under.
