Ring in the New Year

This year's New Year's Eve was low-key and private. It was too cold to be outdoors anyway. I went to AC's place in Taipei, made dinner, and we watched Disney's High School Musical 2. As the clock neared midnight, we went upstairs to the rooftop above the 15th floor to watch the Taipei 101 fireworks. With 101 towering all buildings and AC's apartment the highest in its surrounding area we had an unobstructed view of Taipei 101, which is about 20 minutes away. Being further away from the action, we also got great view of not only the 101 display, but also fireworks going off around Taipei City. So, at one time, we could see 6 or 7 lighting displays. And an elevator ride put us right back in the warmth of AC's home.

I hope everyone else had a great countdown too...! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
