Time Square - Count Down 2006

5,4,3,2,1...Happy New Year!
I spent my last day of 2005 in Time Square for count down 2006. My friends and I total four people went to Time Square yesterday afternoon. We thought we arrived early enough to get a good spot. However, when we got there, some streets and roads were closed. We had to go around other street to get into Time Square. When we arrived at 45 st., a police man asked us keep going to 49 st. because the street was closed. Sigh... Finally we got into a place near Time Square. During few hours, we were able to get closer to 47 st. That was the closest place we could get. At least it was close to the stage. Too many people gethered there as you can see the picture I took.
The weather was bad in the afternoon. It was raining and snowing. Icy and cold. Fortunately, it did not snow or rain at night. Can you imagine that we spent about 8 hours standing outdoor in cold temperature (28F/-2C).
Waiting for hours and hours, the latest 60 seconds were the most exciting time - count down for 2006 New Year! I would say it was a special experience for me to celebrate new year with thousands and thousands people at the same time. COOL~
Anyway~ Happy New Year!!! and Good Night!
