Mexico lights up English Bay on the third fireworks night with the theme “Journey”. They were the 2006 fireworks competition winner, and it’s been 4 years since they are back. After Spain put on an incredible show on Saturday, Mexico needed something spectacular to beat them.
Unfortunately, to my disappointment, I thought the show wasn’t great at all (although in the newspaper it said that it had good reviews…). There were too many pauses, and some sections lacked colour and style. What’s worse, there were some parts where the fireworks were not synced together, having three shells explode first, then subsequently having another two explode (which made the fireworks looked a bit lopsided). My “artistic techniques” didn’t really quite work out the way I wanted to this time, but hey, that’s why it’s an experiment right? :-)
China Saturday!

Thanks!
aw: Photos might look better because they superimpose a series of fireworks together, but during the live show, many times were spent waiting!
