In this part of the world we are already into 2006. Other bits of the world will follow suit in their own good time.
This evening I saw the old year out and the new year in, in Hong Kong, with sober friends. It wasn't always like that. But that was then, and this is now.
We all had a good time, and hugged each other at midnight. And then I took the ferry back to a little island in the South China Sea.
Just before midnight, I got a text message from a friend. I hope she won't mind, but this is what was in the message:
Before the sun sets on this year, before the memories fade and before... the networks get jammed, wish you a Happy and Bright New Year 2006, Love F.Yes, a Happy and Bright New Year to you, too. Thanks, everyone!
