If the truth be told, I hadn’t been a part of a countdown to a New Year for many, many years.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

When one finds them self on the other side of the world though for the beginning of a New Year, exceptions must be made.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

My last day of 2012 started with a Cirque De Soleil movie premiere party. Held in the Lucerne Palace, I sip my complimentary champagne as I find my way to my seat to enjoy the festivities.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The movie was entertaining, although the party afterwards was difficult for me since everyone was speaking Czech. I didn’t last long before I decided to move the party to the rooftop of my hotel. They were putting on quite the show, full of entertainment and cocktails galore.<\/p>\n

From my favourite Pilsner Urquell, the local beer, a snifter of Hennessy, and a lovely champagne toast at the magical hour, I laughed and loved with strangers as the night sky illuminated with fireworks, stirring wishful hopes in all those watching for the year ahead…..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
