Surviving New Year

Some believe the end of the world is going to come in 2012. After yesterday I think it might be similar to New Year's Eve. Just think: the drunk euphoria, the madness of the crowd, the explosions of fireworks, people running to all directions few minutes before midnight...
No, I had a fun evening - after that. But witnessing NY in Munich was something of an experience!

At all times people wanted 'bread and games'; Romans had their somewhat cruel circus; a hundred years ago or even earlier colorful carnivals were already being celebrated where wives "were not allowed to be jealous"; now - you name it, everyday might turn to a festival, sometimes smaller, sometimes bigger. Occasions like NY occurred as one of these all-including moments of madness, or steam-blowing, or however you call it. Giving all yourself to the celebration, taking it all from this one night - as if it was the last one.

Just why it looks so different with sober mind...


"Man Power" talks for itself...
