End of 2008

Frosty


Apparently tonight is going to be a nipple wrenching -3˙C. Yes MINUS! I'm not looking forward to exiting the warmth of our flat though. Yesterday we were driving past the airport and i'm guessing since the area was very flat and far from the warmth of the city lights, the cars' temperature dial recorded -4.5˙C! That's the coldest i've seen it and even with the heater cranked up, i was still rather numb.


Anyway, we've spent most of the day resting since last night we were up till the early hours. But later we plan to play with fireworks! It's legal to buy fireworks and crackers here and practically every store sells them. Even the stationery store around the corner cleared their front window to promote sales. How crazy is that!?

And throughout the night we've been hearing random fireworks being set off. I reckon once it inches towards 12, the sky will be lit with random sparks. Well that's what i'm hoping.

We've also decided to not be hermits and will be heading out to a club in the city. It'll be my first time at the club but i have no expectations. As much as i'd love to be tucked in bed right now, i guess it won't hurt to go out and to feel the German New Year spirit up close and personal.

Fingers crossed that the tunes won't suck though.

Our personal stash of sparks & bangs

Ooo a little over 2 hours to go till midnight! Here's wishing all my silent readers, stalkers and mates a very happy & healthy new year. Here's to better things to come... Cheers big ears!
