On Saturday, a local friend took me to the local New Year's celebration. The New Year coincides (logically) with the first day of Spring: March 21st. Various cities in the region hold their festivals on different days. Our city's happened to be on the 20th. They estimate over 300,000 people attended the event. It was a day long event with speakers, musicians, bonfires, food vendors, dancing and flag waving.
Above is the main stage. Notice the Zacheaus-like minded individual clinging to the thin tree on the left about 50 feet in the air. What people do for a view!
