Welcome the New Year

 “Revelion” in Romania is not so very different to “Neujahr” in Germany, but “New Years’ eve” in a big City like Bucuresti, is definitive different than “Silvester” in my small village at home.
There all the young people meet around 12 o ‘clock at a local bridge to celebrate the coming year. From this bridge you can see the fireworks of the neighborvillages – that’s  very nice because you know everyone and you have a really good time.
This year I was at Piata Constitutiei and among a mass of people, the only persons I knew were my group of volunteers.  And the fireworks in front of the Parliament Palace -wow- this was something special – a fantastic mixture of snow and light (But not to compare with our own small display of fireworks, later in the park).
The last day of the year is always amazing, but this time for me was kind of magical. I really enjoyed everything, the sparkling wine, being with friends, the hugs and good wishes for the New Year; yes I even enjoyed my cold feet.
