New Year's Eve

Yesterday the temperature in Frankfurt has reached 15°C. It was very sunny looked like spring is coming, that reminds me that I still have some photos in the camera which are taken from the cold Eve of New Year.

We spent this New Year's Eve at a friend's hause. It was my first time to spend New Year in Germany. Last Year Martin and I were in Milan. Chinese New Year is Chinese Spring Festival, this year it will be on 3nd February 2011 (lunar calender). 01.01.2011 is an national holiday for Chinese as well, but no celebrations.
At 12 o'clock we went outside to drink champagne and watch fireworks. The neighbours of our friend played a lot of fireworks. The whole city was just as noisy as in Chinese cities at Spring Festival' Eve. This was suprised me, because I thought Germans don't like such noisy things.












Cheers! "einen Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr" people say each other in German.

When I turned back around, Martin wrote some sweet wolds on the car. I wished the snow will never melt away. Even though the worlds were gone on the next day, but I have captured the evidence.
Here I am.............This is how I look like in winter in Germany.

  1. Hi Ling Ling,

    Looks like good fun you and Martin had on German New Years.

    Yes, they like noise -- at the right times ;).

    I wonder what there will be on the real Asian New Years in February?

    Regards,
    Clive
