Didn't really do much today. Not really in a particular mood to celebrate, not sure why. Rather than staying at home, we went for a ganger at a local department store Min Yao (no, not the Chinese basketball player playing in the NBA). Just a couple of pictures of Amelie having fun at the small amusement centre on the top floor of the department store. Just surprised the store was actually opened on New Years Day.
Didn't want to make any resolutions since I either don't keep them, or I just end up forgetting about them. But to keep with the spirit, my resolution is simple, I just want to get through 2007 being happy.
I missed out of the fireworks. I wanted to take some pictures, but seeing the number of people on the streets, I thought better of it. Instead we sat around the television and watch the fireworks there as we got surround sound of fireworks going off outside (Taipei 101 isn't that far away from where we live). Apparently, there were like millions and millions of people of the streets and traffic chaos on Zhongxiao East Road and Ren-Ai Road. Maybe it was a good idea to stay at home on New Year's Eve.
Anyway, I took some pictures of 101 after the New Year revellers have gone home. One thing struck me is the amount of Sony advertising on 101. There had been a lot of debate on the news as to why the name "Taipei" is not high-lighted on the tower. Hmm, maybe next year eh?
