New Year's Eve in Vienna

New Year's Eve in Vienna is awesome. Different types of concerts sprouted around the cities, showcasing a variety of music. Hoardes of people were dancing joyously to the music, hand in hand forming circles. Fireworks rang and lighted up the sky with colours and spectacle. Many kids had their fair share of fun by trying to shoot rockets of fireworks into the sky using wine bottles, matchsticks and their "ammunition". Booze and food stalls were found everywhere. The streets were filled with festivity and colour. Friends, families and couples huddled together all counting down to the new year.

Christoph and I ended up in front of the old town hall enjoying classical music. Thousands of people gathered and cheered at the close of each song. For me, it was bittersweet. The start of the new year signaled the end of my trip in Vienna. As we counted down to the new year, more fireworks triggered the sky. The famous song of Blue Danube Waltz was then played. Pressed couples swayed to the music. It was a breathtaking sight. Was this how Ethan Hawke and Julie Delphy felt in the movie "Before Sunset"? Hands held, I left the scene with a heavy heart.
