Happy New Year 2009!

To welcome the new year 2009 we went to Eiffel Tower of Paris . Many people from all over the world gathered at the surounding areas or travelled on the river via boats to see the wonder moment of the Eiffel tower after new year count down. We chose a place up a hill so that we can take photos of the whole Eiffel tower. Among all the people, we met a Japaneses tourist group, and a family from Equator who share their Champagne with us.

We expected to see fireworks at the Eiffel Tower, but actually it was lighting changes on the tower. At the beginning, the tower was in the blue diamond lighting with 12 Euro Stars shown at the bottom of the tower, when count down to 12 midnight, the whole tower suddenly shined with twinkling stars just like a striking stars tree. After the twinkled stars it changed into metalic gold tower.


Wishing a golden economic and peace year will come in 2009.
