New Year's Eve in Bali was incredible!! I'm not typically a fan of NYE, but this year did not disappoint!
Our hotel hosted a NYE "Gala." They put a lot of work into getting the
restaurant ready for the gala, putting up tents and decorating. They hosted a big buffet dinner and had traditional Balinese performances taking place on a stage.

After dinner, we decided to check out the scene down on the beach. Fireworks filled the sky! I have never seen so many fireworks in my life! They were non-stop from about 7pm until 1am, all up and down the beach. It was gorgeous!! It was also slightly dangerous since it was just random people shooting them into the sky from right next to you. I have a video on my facebook of all the fireworks if you want a taste of what it was like (Thanks to Saran for taking the video).
We shared many a Bingtang at the different bars and tried to enjoy the crazy techno music they were playing everywhere. There was no official countdown, but as close to midnight as possible we decided to celebrate with lots of cheering and hugs.
