New Years Eve Fireworks

Went back out at 9.00 pm for dinner and to celebrate the new year. As we eat our dinner fireworks were still continually lighting up the sky along the 2 mile stretch of beach. The kids selling them must have made a fortune. Also Chinese lanterns drifted slowly across the night sky.

As midnight approached we wandered back to the main stage and watched the end of the entertainment. With 10 secs to go the countdown started, on the stroke of midnight all the westerners cheered, but the locals just stood there, wondered what all the fuss was about and calmly went on with whatever thy were doing. It is a shame that the culture of such nice people does not allow them to display their emotions.

Then the main firework display began, not as good as London, but still a very good show.
