New Years Eve

On New Years Eve I went to a fancy dress party at our friends house. I went as a fortune cookie. Everyone thought my outfit was really original. The garden was decorated with lanterns and it looked spectacular. We danced and drunk until the early hours of the morning. At mid night it is the custom for everyone to yell happy new year and kiss each other.


About 3.00 we wanted to go home but we couldn't get a taxi because it was too busy so we had to walk home. It took about an hour so I was so exhausted the next day. So far I have had a very good new year going to the beach and visiting my friends. Unlike in Japan we don't celebrate the new year with our families, it is a time to spend with friends and have a party!
