I took the High Speed Rail (top speed over 300Km/h) as usual on new years eve, since its not crowded and it takes 25 minutes to go 80km...(about)...

It was me, the chalmers gang, and many other exchange students, mostly from Western Europe.

Went to a newly open swedish restaurant in Taipei city...

The restaurants place was milo milo (only existed for 5 month). We were about 40 guests...and they didnt have "set menu", so everyone ordered different things...it was a mess...

They had "meatball Kebab"...it says, but it was all outof stock when I wanted it...

The tables were separated...but people started to mingle around in different tables after some hours...

We were not alloud to change places, since their prders were fixed per chair...

However we emailed them an excel file with all peoples names and orders to make it easier for them...

If we wnated drinks we needed to go to the bar...

We ordered white wine...its was ok...it was from Spain...

I had mushroom soup and salad for starter...

And steak as a main course

I was still hungry after that steak, so I ordered an extra nachos...redommended by the swedish owner...since the didnt have the meatball kebab.

I had pancakes for dessert...or "plättar" since they were small, with blue berries and cream.

People were starting so sing songs after a while...in their onw languages...(standing up here are the french guys)...

At 23.50 we went to see Taipei 101...

People were squeezing togetter where they could see the building...

Millions of people are watching the building at 23.55...(seen behind the tree)... and at 23.59 the buildings lights were turned off...

The differnt shapes of Taipei 101 during the fireworks...

Then people started to drink champage or sparkling wine...
