New Guinness World Record!

My parents, my wife and my SCC guys just took part in setting the world record this morning -  most flags on a bridge. 

We were given the opportunity to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge as a promotion for their tenth anniversary.  Concurrently, they decided to attempt a world record, and we got to take part.  We all waved flags from different nations, and JiHyun got Hong Kong which was a 'special' flag - meaning it was one of the 'nations' that promoted the BridgeClimb tourist attraction in their country.  So she got to take an individual photo with the flag that will be used in Hong Kong promotions!  Sad thing about that is that they'll all think that she's Chinese!

The rest of us were filmed and photo'd waving our flags.  We even made it on the news!  Here is the link -

If you pause at 30-31 seconds, you can see my dad clearly turning late to reveal his flag.  My mom is to his right, and JiHyun to her right.  In the next shot, you can see me holding up the flag of Hungary for a split second. 

The following is a link to the special media release of the event - and we're there in high quality video!

And if you choose the part @1:05, duration 16 seconds, we're right in front!!!
Here is a snapshot:




It was a long, grueling experience.  I am afraid of heights so it was actually extra-challenging, but worth it!
Thank you Mins!

Hahaha looks awesome!

You're right though, they'll probably think Jihyun's Chinese and you're hungry...

@Matt: I'm totally down for that challenge. I think if I'm really hungry, I can take about 3.5 for the team.
