Year change

Hmmm… now it’s 2007; it sounds really strange for me, even after 7 years I’m still not used to the 2000 counting; I grow up in the 199x and the 21st century looks really … SF :)

The 12.00 moment got me on the streets of Utrecht with Romanian guys (Cipri and Ionica and girl (Cristina … without Gelu :) ). It was a true Dutch year crossing: it begun raining and we’ve stopped in front of a bike store … to drink the Champaign (much more a bubbling wine, not the French brand :) ) and light up the fireworks. And speaking about fireworks … the sky was full of colors and the streets full of their noise; there were some really cute noise making things: you know the “pétard” that everyone is using in this time of the year … ok now think at 3 meters long line full of them; that’s really a noise making stuff.

And to make it a Romanian celebration we enjoyed the Romanian food (sarmale si carnati udate cu palinca de piersica) and listened and danced on Romanian specific music.

Happy New Year!

P.S.: Romania is part of EU ;)
