New Year's Eve



Last Monday, also the last day of 2012, I went to a senior student’s apartment to celebrate New Year’s Eve. All the guests were from the table tennis team of our department. As far as I am concerned, it was the first time I celebrated New Year’s Eve in Taipei, and I even took a train back to here just two hours before the celebration started.

First, we had a delicious hot pot together at six o’clock. However, most of the food and vegetables were washed and cooked by female members. Only one male member went to the kitchen to help the girls cook while other boys were playing card games in the living room.

Second, after we finished eating, we started to play card games, such as 風聲 and三國殺. Apart from playing cards, we exchanged secrets and gossiped. Time flied so fast, three hours passed and it was 11:55. We strived to link to Youtube page by using the computer, but we failed. Fortunately, one guy’s smartphone succeeded at 11:59, and we watched the fireworks around Taipei 101 just in time. What a surprise!

  1. It was my first time celebrate new year in Taipei. I went to 貓空 to see the Taipei 101. Before we went to 貓空, we went to B&O to have our last dinner in 2012. In B&O, we also play some card game like UNO, poker etc. Unfortunately, it close in 9:00 so we have to go to 貓空 earlier. We bring many cookies and alcohol drinks and find a good place that we could see the whole 101 clearly.
    We also chatted gossips and some jokes until 11:59. The firework was beautiful!!!!
