It’s about that time of the year once again! I don’t know if it’s just me but there’s something I find particularly interesting about the last night of the year. Even though it’s just another night on the calendar, I still have this excitement within me and also curiosity about what the coming year is going to be like.

So for the second question for this week’s prompt; if I was given the opportunity to choose anywhere in the world to spend New Year’s Eve, I think I’d go with Sydney, Australia.

I’ve always had that place in mind for a while now. I’ve seen several videos of how they welcome the New Year, especially the fireworks around the Sydney Habour Bridge and the Opera House. There’s something fascinating about watching an entire city gather in one place to celebrate the beginning of another year. I see those videos and I am like man, I’d love to experience that feeling for myself rather than just watching it on screen.

I’d probably spend the evening somewhere with a good view of the harbour, enjoying the activities and watching people make their final preparations before midnight. I’m not even sure what I’d be doing at that point, I probably would be strolling around while capturing every memorable moments on my phone. What would make this holiday really fun is if I had a companion with me though so we can explore the harbour today.

And as people began to count down; ten, nine, eight…, I’d love to see the fireworks light up the sky as people cheer and welcome the new year. This time I’d be seeing it life and not on screen. This is one of those experiences I am most likely to remember for a very long time.

But beyond the beautiful fireworks and celebrations that would be going on, there’s another reason I’d love to spend New Year’s Eve at that particular place. The thing is I actually love travelling long distances. When it was time for me to pick the college I wanted to go and study, the reason I picked one that was far away from home is because it required me travelling and gave me the opportunity to come across new places while on the trip, and also get a change of environment.

So spending the holiday at a totally different place would give me the opportunity to experience how other people celebrate things familiar to you but looks completely different from how you usually experience it.

Who knows, maybe their own pattern may be quite interesting to me that I may decide to adopt it when I return back home and spend the New Year’s Eve with my family.
