Happy New Year

On New Year’s Eve we just went to bed because I knew at midnight that the fireworks would wake us up and they did they were so loud, they echo off of the buildings here. They went on for about an hour it was fun to watch. People can buy the big fireworks like they use at firework shows in the U.S.  so there are fireworks going off all over the city.  It is really crazy to me that it is January 2012 already.
