That screen is really bright. My dearest and I had a room at the Sofitel that overlooked it and it took me a little while to realise the the coloured lights dancing around the ceiling were from the big screen in Fed Square.
ReplyDeleteFunny - I thought there'd be more people. It was positively crawling during the 2006 World Cup.

Is it a good idea to fall asleep under the hot hot Aussie summer sun? It would be a bad idea for me.
