SEA Games: Opening Ceremony

While the football tournament and some other sports had already started, the official SEA Games Opening Ceremony took place on Friday, June 5th. Again, I was too slow to buy tickets so was left with watching the fireworks from some distance (I really should have researched earlier when those tickets would go on sale). I had seen the fireworks rehearsals a few weeks earlier and that would have already qualified for a very decent show in Europe, hence my expectations were on the high side.

And I was not disappointed. While not super long, the show did not disappoint. Below just a few of the highlights:

The National Stadium before the fireworks. They even arranged for a spectacular moonrise.

The Indoor Stadium next to it.

Here we go!

Beautiful

And the torch has been lit up!
