Happy New Year Everyone!
Our friends Angelica and Frank are here to visit us from Thailand. They came in last night and we headed downtown to watch the fireworks come off Taipei 101. They said it may be the last year they do it, so off we went. it was NUTS! There were SOOOOO many people. At 11:40, Angelica and I thought we would go find a bathroom. We had 20 minutes so we thought lots of time. We found a bathroom and by the tiime we were done it was now 11:50- 10 minutes to go. No problem right? WRONG! We found ourselves in a throng of people. And I mean throng! (def:. A multitude of persons or of living beings pressing or pressed into a close body or assemblage; a crowd.) And so Angelica and I held hands and tried to desperately make our way back to the guys, but it seemed impossible. At one point we almost gave up, no one could move, much less give us room to get through. Finally we broke through to the street where we knew the guys were and we made it to them with only 1 minute to 12:00. I have never been in a crowd like that in my entire life!!! Totally worth it though. Ben and I kept telling ourselves- see we are not almost 30!! We’re at the coolest party in town :) Happy New Year everyone!
By the way, I’ve made a New Years Resolution- I’ll tell you in the next blog what it is. Do you have one?
