Your New Years Eve Food and Weather.
ole bullen,Mel
has nothing to do with bulls or balls,what is your fantasy
es far as I know it is called OLIEBOLLEN,sure Utrecht will tell us the correct spelling.
if the are not greesy I eat one or two.
I do a cheese fondue for my friends tomorrow,today I have shrimp and champaign
before I go to one of the hotels who has a big party and firework.
Weather?we dont have much
it is like every day about 30 celsius,blue sky
nice breez.
Some tourists will go diving at midnight,fireworks will start this afternoon when shop owners start burning this noise making kracker chains in front of the shops.
It sounds always like war,you need ear plucks if you stay not far away.
yes,thats is New Year celebrating the caribbean way here on Bonaire.

Ice Blended Vanilla for tonight's celebration....playing Big 2 with buddies and the weather.....extremely HOT!!!!
The rainy weather's been gone for a few days and I swear it was 35degC today!
Nothing much special for food tonight, but maybe lots of junk tomorrow
There's a number of countdown parties at the bay tonight, the official one's at our new floating stadium. There'll be fireworks there in exactly 93min which I can see from the the comfort of my home cos I live on the 21st floor

Quoting Mel.

Oh it is
At least here in Singapore. We get both New Year's Day and Chinese New Year off.
In addition to Christmas, Good Friday, Vesak Day (birth of Buddha), Hari Raya Puasa (end of Ramadan), Hari Raya Haji (completion of the Haj), National Day, Deepavali (Indian festival of lights) and Labour Day.
And unofficially we also celebrate Easter, Thaipusam (Indian fest of triumph of good over evil), Dragon Boat Festival, Winter Solstice, Chinese Mid-autumn Fest.
We celebrate diversity here
