we had plans to go spend the new year down in city center only to find out it had been cancelled. Earlier this month there was a riot during the tree lighting that they had to call in the military to break up. they since decided to cancel any other holiday events at the city hall. we are back at the flat and rung in the new year together. the sound of church bells and fireworks has been background noise to our conversations for the last hour... today i also took quite a few pictures...here are some of them...
city hall...the site of where the would be new years festivities were to take place...
