Want to know a great way to celebrate your birthday while in Hong Kong? How about going to your first ever concert? That's what I got to do this year when my dad took me to see Coldplay for my birthday. Then, for her birthday, my mom got to bring Natalie to the same concert the very next evening.
Let's start by talking about the stadium: Kai Tak. We had the chance to visit Kai Tak during the HK Rugby Sevens, but it was even more spectacular for a big concert. The stadium was absolutely beautiful with sparkling lights, comfortable seats, and an incredible atmosphere. You could tell the city was proud to show off their brand new facility! In fact, the crowd was buzzing and crazy the entire night. There was such a great energy in the air.
The concert itself was an amazing experience because Coldplay had a special energy and their music just flowed off of the stage and into the crowd. The lead singer was really good at getting the crowd to put down their cell phones and just be present for the performance. There were also great special effects at the show: confetti, glowing planet-like spheres, flame towers, giant beach balls, synchronized light up bracelets, and special effect glasses that turned every light into a glowing rainbow heart. Overall, I can't say enough wonderful things about the band and their performance - it was an amazing first concert! My favorite song was "My Universe." I also liked it when the band brought up a guest performer who sang verses of the song "We Pray" in Cantonese. The crowd went crazy!
I hope that I can go to more concerts in the future, but it's hard to imagine one being as much fun as going to Coldplay with my dad.
