I am from the Philippines and freaking excited over this! They had a preview last April with Italy, Australia, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Korea, CHina, Switzerland and I dunno I prolly forgot one or two. I took photos from there, which went down when my comp crashed
Anyhow my favorite was Mexico, because I like noise, and Swiss, becasue it was very artful and precise! Some of my friends from US are coming over to see it. Basically it will be a 5 day musical fireworks event with cultural presentations of the participating countries, we'll be getting a hotel room close to the venue (though I live 15 minutes away hahah).
It's gonna be on December 26-30 or 27-31, am not so sure. Certainly (as I've been told by my Jap friend who was here last time during the preview) they are among the best of the planet!!
