Happy 2007.  May the new year will be even better for all of us!

I had a pretty nice New Year Eve Party at Jane and Pieroīs house.

We had more than 20 people coming from Taipei, Taichunr and some other cities outside Taipei.

I met a lot of new people there from France, Italy, Poland, Panama....etc.

It is always nice to know people from all over the world.  We had nice chat, food, drink and dance!!

As it is becoming one of the biggest Taipei events, we had a spectacular fireworks from Taipei 101 building, the world tallest building.

This time the fireworks cost 1 million US, and it lasted 3 minutes.(1 minut improvement from last year)

Some of them left the party early to went into the crowd courageously.

And most of them stayed at the appartment till 11:30 and went up to the roof top to see the fireworks.  The view from the roof top was just great.  We could see whole image of 101 and also other fireworks coming out from shopping malls in taipei.

It was the 3rd New Year since I came to Taiwan.  Now I see myself more used to the life with more great friends.

We celebrated with Italian Sparkling Wine that Piero brought...and hugged each other.

I just wished David were here also, but I am sure he is now having a great new year in Spain with his family and friends  (but I hope he will be back here soon)

Another great news!

One of my best friends here in Taipei, Steffenīs wife, Shuhui had a healthy baby boy yesterday afternoon.  He couldnīt wait to come out to the world till 2007!!  I am going to see the baby, Cicero this afternoon!!

Conglatulations, Steffen and Shuhui!
