I moved to Brisbane 2 years ago from Melbourne and I regret it. This video made me smile and homesick all at once.

WOW! Whenever I've seen the balloons over the city, I've always thought it would be amazing, but watching this, it looks like it'd be more than that. I love Melbourne heaps, so to do this would blow my mind!
