I decided to end 2012 going to Iasi. The trip was an event by itself. Between conversations (like the one between some IT young professionals who were comparing their job experiences in UK, Italy and Romania) and the show presented behind the windows by local bands with "goats", the train trip went very fast.
Iasi looked beautiful. I liked the way it was decorated. The centre looked like the stars in the sky had descended towards earth.
Even town hall was garnished with holiday lights.
I enjoyed the festivities in the centre, together with the rivers of people which were pouting towards the centre from all the main streets. Although the bands were very interesting, it was impossible for me to stay still for long, my soles were freezing. What can you do, I had to wear the fancy boots on that occasion, instead of some warm ones better suited for those conditions.
So we started sight seeing around, admiring some familiar sights in a different light. I liked especially the Three Hierarchs Church looked with the cross in front. The picture caught the light above as a Romanian flag, with its three colours (red, yellow, blue).
At twelve o'clock, were the traditional fireworks. They were as usual there, a great show enjoyed by the thousands of people present there with their champagne ready for toasting for the new year. Then was the party, which made the usual victims. Some fell wherever they were slayed by the alcohol mixture. At a certain point it doesn't matter if you are friend of foe, as long as you are a good pillow.
