Amb alguns dies de retard… per\u00f2 petit post sobre el cap d’any a Taipei.<\/p>\n

Despr\u00e9s de sopar una mena de sopa amb fideus al primer lloc que vam trobar, vam enfilar cap a la zona del Taipei 101<\/a> (l’edifici m\u00e9s alt del m\u00f3n fins que inaugurin el Burj Dubai). Des de fa 6 anys \u00e9s el punt de congregaci\u00f3 de la majoria d’habitants de Taipei per donar la benvinguda al nou any. Hi ha una gentada de por i tots els \u00ablocals\u00bb (els companys de feina de l’Albert sobretot) recomanaven de no anar-hi pel caos que s’organitza… per\u00f2 essent nous a la ciutat era un cosa que no ens podiem perdre. Ve a ser una mena de Piromusical per\u00f2 multiplicat per cinc o m\u00e9s vegades! :)<\/p>\n

S’organitza un concert amb els grups m\u00e9s de moda a Taiwan i aquest any diuen que van anar-hi m\u00e9s d’un mili\u00f3 de persones. Podeu llegir-ne un resum aqu\u00ed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A les 12:00 fan l’espectacle de focs al Taipei 101.\u00a0 Aquest any ha durat 188 segons (3 minuts i 8 segons) en els que han llen\u00e7at 22.000 petardos amb un cost total d’una mica menys d’un mili\u00f3 de US $.<\/p>\n

Vam fer un video propi, per\u00f2 al YouTube n’hi ha de millors. Despr\u00e9s ens vam menjar els 12 grans de ra\u00efm com mana la tradici\u00f3 del nostre pa\u00eds.

El lema de Taiwan pel 2010 \u00e9s \u00abTaiwan UP!\u00bb<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A la sortida de la festa, el caos de gent i vehicles era for\u00e7a impressionant. El metro va funcionar tota la nit i va transportar prop de 2 milions de persones. Els carrers propers al 101 per on, te\u00f2ricament, passen els cotxes estaven literalment invadits de vianants.<\/p>\n

Ara s\u00ed que podem dir… any nou, vida nova!!<\/p>\n

Feli\u00e7 2010 a tothom!<\/p>\n

I aix\u00f2… TAIWAN UP! :)<\/p>\n

Anna & AlbertFew days late… but let us post about the New Year’s Eve at Taipei.<\/p>\n

After a quick dinner (a kind of thick noodles soup with some topping), we headed to Taipei 101<\/a> area (still the tallest buliding in the world until Burj Dubai is opened later this year). For the last 6 years this is the place where a large amount of Taipei inhabitants gather to welcome the New Year. The size of the crowd is impressive and various \u00ablocals\u00bb (Albert workmates mainly) suggested not to go there for the chaos that we would face… but being brand new inhabitants it was a must for us to attend. <\/p>\n

The city organizes a concert with the most trendy and famous music groups from Taiwan scene. You can read about it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At 12:00 the world famous fireworks start. This year the show lasted for 188 seconds (3 minutes and 8 seconds). 22,000 rounds of fireworks went off for a price tag of NT$30 million (less than US$ 1 million). <\/p>\n

We recorded our own video, but YouTube provides with better videos. After the fireworks we ate 12 grapes as the tradition mandates in our country.<\/a><\/p>\n

At YouTube you can find a lot of additional videos<\/a>. You can also admire a large collection of photos in this group from Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n

The slogan for 2010 is \u00abTaiwan UP!\u00bb<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"IMAG0150\"<\/p>\n

When the fireworks ended, the chaos organized by the people and the vehicles was memorable. The MRT (metro) run all night long and carried around 2 million people. The avenues close to Taipei 101 became pedestrian domain for couple of hours. Drivers had to wait.<\/p>\n

So, as we say in catalan … \u00abany nou, vida nova!!\u00bb [new year, new life!!]<\/p>\n

Happy 2010 to everybody!<\/p>\n

And last but not least … TAIWAN UP! :)<\/p>\n
