We celebrated the New Year's Eve at Chia-Ni's apartment, and then run to Taipei 101 to count down and see the firework.
(Copied from internet)After the firework, we took a walk in the city to feel the happiness in the public. To participate the traditional flag-raising ceremony held by the government in front of the presidential palace in the morning on Jan 1st every year, we decided to stay up all night. While fighting with the sleeping bug, we watched two movies. The second one was a Thai scary movie. Who did rent this DVD?! We didn't know how come we would start the first day of year 2009 with this, but I was totally awake at 5:00AM and ready for the ceremony for sure.
After the flag-raising ceremony, we went for the first breakfast in year 2009 and then I decided to start my first day of the year with the furniture hunting. Since I didn't sleep for one night, the next day I slept for 15 hours! :-PThe flags on my backpack are the national flag of Taiwan. Why did I have so many flags? The contributions are from and decorated by Tzu-Hua and Leo. :-)
