2015 highlight of the year
My highlight for 2015 was AC/DC's extraordinary concerts in November at Domain Stadium. The band brought the capacity crowd together, playing a slew of hit songs. Despite having performed for over multiple decades, the group's energy and enthusiasm keeps each member going. I still don't know how they do it!
prediction for 2016
2016 will bring significant changes in our political, economic, social, and cultural environments. In 2014, the world suffered many major atrocities costing thousands of lives and uprooting our understanding of humanity. This coming year we should come together, sort through our problems and naivety, and try to make the world a better place. Good luck, everyone.
