The typical fairground smells filled the air: ice cream and chips, noodle bars to curries and baked potatoes. The BISC team from Hong Kong to Kazakhstan, China, Guatemala, Japan and Bella Russe, set up camp on a hill above the main arena and spent the evening marvelling at the enormous glowing creations. As dusk appeared, rousing classical music and rock music played as the fires were stoked to light up the gigantic canopies creating a dazzling display. Fireworks burst out into the sky above the now darkened sky to signal the end of the event.
Thousands of people trekked back towards the numerous buses, jostling and laughing, chatting and joking, before their return to the city.
