New Year’s Eve

December 10, 2008 · 1 Comment

zrdsgI only had 3 minutes to answer the question: Where would you like to be at New Year’s Eve?
New Year

I quickly tried to imagine the most famous ones: from New York Times Square to London, from Berlin to Bahamas, without thinking of budget, of course.
Or maybe Rio de Janeiro: at Copacabana beach the celebrations are the largest in the world. Or at Salt Spring Island, in Canada for the Annual Polar Bear Swim, with water around 4-6C and a Coast Guard offshore and refreshments….
My reply was: Reykjavik Iceland. And you know why? I am fond of fireworks and here almost every family fires its own fireworks. And the deep night becomes one of the biggest firework-shows in the world. Over 1000 tons of fireworks to make you hope in a better New Year.

But, as you well know, there are many more alternatives to Iceland!
