New Year at Fed square

6607594655_253da7be7f_z

This is first time to take a new year in overseas.
New year in Australia is normally in Sydney but I invited new year in Melbourne in this year.

I heard a new year celebration at Federation square is the biggest and most crowded in Melbourne.
Since its such a rare chance, I decided to go to Federation square worrying about too much crowd.

I went to Federation square at 8 pm with Xavier and Sakthee who are our share mate.
There were already many people and a pedestrian mall.

Dancers and musicians were playing on stage at Federation square’s as new year celebration.
I was interested in combination of bagpipes and electro music.
I realized Bagpipes is suit to electro.

In the blink of an eye, the time was 1 min before new year.
We count 10 sec before with everyone.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Happy New Year!!!
There were so many fire works from 4 buildings that surround Federation square.
waaao!
very showy!!

New year in Australia is in summer so this has different atmosphere from Japan.
This is also nice.

Come to think of it, we already have spent 5 months in Melbourne.
It make me deeply emotive.

I found Jedi on the way home.

I was invited a year-end party by my girl friend’s place of work whose name is “Wabisabi salon“.
今日は彼女の職場、ワビサビサロンの忘年会にお呼ばれしました。

Large quantities Japanese foods and sashimi!!
ものすごい量の日本食!
しかも刺身!

I was moved because I haven’t seen these amount Japanese foods for a long time.
And I was there first time but I ate so many foods like a brazen-faced. sorry.
こんな大量の日本食を目にしたのは久しぶりで、大変感動しました(泣
しかもほとんどの方が初対面で突然押しかけて、図々しくもバクバクと食べまくってしまいました。申し訳ない。

However this restaurant foods was incredible.
I must come again.
ただこのお店の料理は本当に美味しかったので、
また個人的に行ってみたいと思います。
