It's gonna be a happy new year...

I spent New Year's in Taichung, what a night.  I went from school to the train station and got to Taichung about 5:30.  I met Linda and Peggy at the hotel, and Thomas got there shortly after.  After dinner, we walked through Taichung Park.

There were lots of people walking around, celebrating and wishing us Happy New Year, in Chinese and in English.

We witnessed a proposal.

Then Linda and I decided to walk through the night market and up to the University.

Very crowded night market

We finally made it to the stadium, where the fireworks were going to be.  They had some kind of show going on in the stadium, broadcast on a screen outside.

The countdown

Happy New Year!
