Gili Trawangan: Happy New Year
Monday, January 1st, 2007Last night was fun. I was at a giant party along a strip of bars on a beach boardwalk on this tiny tropically paradise-y island I’m on. Everywhere decorated in cool light designs and artwork. Everyone wandering around (happily drunk, possibly high and probably smiling) saying Happy New Year to strangers and generally enjoying the best New Year’s party I’ve ever been to.
I never like NYE because it always gets built up so much with expectation. Here, it was no different — but the party was fun. It wasn’t overcrowded, overpriced, over-annoying — like, you didn’t need to worry about finding a taxi, since there are no cars on Gili Trawangan.
