Whew, fighting my way through all those central time zone balloons to get into here was something else! I'm still covered in confetti. And I can still hear all those central time zones dogs barking because of the fireworks. Great Party Katiebird!

Happy New Year - European Setting (4.00 / 2)

.
Best Wishes to all - especially in Good Health or Sustainability in recovering from any illness at present.

In The Hague a lot of fireworks displayed throughout the city center and suburbs. To avoid nasty crowd troubles, the city is now renowned for supporting neighborhood party coordination. To avoid large bon fires in city streets, the city council has given permission for large bon fires on the beach of the North Sea. Nasty rioting has been prevented in the last ten years!

Eurovision television has the traditional

New Year's wishes from the Vatican at noon
Beautiful New Year's Johann Strauss Concert from Vienna
Ski Jump competition from Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Austria

Johann Strauss Waltz Concerts

Austria btw will haveEU Presidency first six months and Putin's Russia will lead the G8 Nations on Finance and Economy. First item for discussion: democratic content of member nations and gas & oil distribution throughout the World - read U.S. and all Western energy consumers. I wonder whether there is any knowledge of assets to be found in the environment, climate and ecology.

Let 2006 be an EARTH YEAR :: have people unite globally to retake true democracy, whereby its leaders represent voters and not corporations.

● Eisenhower's Message to his country!

Listeners all around the world can experience the New Year's Concert live on the internet by way of Live-Stream beginning at 11:15 CET.

Re: Happy New Year - European Setting (4.00 / 2)

Happy New Year Oui and everyone,
I miss the New Years Day broadcasts of the Wiener Philharmoniker with the Wiener Sängerknaben and the Skijumping competition.

Have not found any coverage here. I think it is seen pretty much all over Europe.
Small correction, Oui, Garmisch-Partenkirchen is in Germany.

Re: Austria - Germany (4.00 / 2)

Oui you just bought back some wonderful memories to me with that picture. I used to ski at Garmisch-Partenkircthen. Or at least I used to try to ski. I can remember the area well with some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen.

I envy anybody today that's able to be there today.
