Happy New Year!!!

It's finally here: 2007. The year of the pig (come February). I tried sending lots of people messages, but the mobile networks here in Sydney started crashing around 8pm new year's eve and didn't come back up until around 4.30 the following morning. The fireworks over here were awesome. I sat right on the water on a little peninsula that sticks out into port jackson and watched fireworks go off from darling harbour, off the skyscrapers in the CBD, off the harbour bridge and from little islands in port jackson. 180 degrees of "feu d'artifices" as our Swiss companions would say. It is also the 75th anniversary of the harbour bridge so there were light shows throughout the evening. Normally I simply enjoy fireworks on holidays, this time I was thoroughly impressed.

I failed last year's resolution which was to go to Brasil, so maybe I'll shoot for something easier like eat a bit healthier, run more (read: train for the TC marathon) or perhaps figure out what I'm doing with my life.

I hope you all had an enjoyable night and morning as well and that new years day wasn't spent in recovery mode.
