1st January in 2019-2020 was a day I had been looking forward to for a long time. I was both nervous and excited because for the first time in my life I would travel abroad, more specifically, to Prague to celebrate New Year’s Eve, with my family.
We arrived in the Czech Republic a day before to spend some time exploring the town. We went shopping and bought different kind of drinks and lentils which is a dish often served at midnight on New Year’s Eve, in Prague. We had done all the necessary preparations and we were ready for that special day!
So, at exactly 12:00 a.m., all the citizens, in the middle of the city centre, let off the fireworks up in the sky. Many kids were running in the streets with a big smile on their faces, while christmas carols were being sung by small groups of women and men. The atmosphere was beautiful and all the people were happy.
A feeling of excitement and happiness stayed with me throughout the day. I will always remember this life event of mine, because it made me feel enthusiasm. But the most important thing for me is, that I met new people and I came so close to them, that we still keep in contact!
