Crikey, has it really been 10 years since we made the transition from 1999 to 2000?! (I don’t like to call it the Millennium since technically that’s 2000 to 2001.) How time flies when you’re having fun! So, please tell… where did you see in the New Year? Were you having a quiet time at home or were you partying away in some exotic location? Please click on the comments to share.

We celebrated at ‘Café des Artistes’ in Ubud, Bali. Firecrackers, a lot of them, colorful hats and cardboard trumpets at midnight and an open air discotheque in the middle of town. Balinese participating hesitantly, merely watching the crazy Westerners having a good time.
At home in Villa Sabandari, we had drinks with our guests until about 3 o’clock in the morning. Then only the sound of frogs and an early rooster. Time to go to bed.
Happy new year to you too!
