2012 and I hit it off in a...taxi cab. For the big stroke of midnight on January 1, 2012, I was in a taxi cab, trying to get back to the university so that we could light up some red lanterns to celebrate the new year. Original plan was to light them off the roof. This plan was probably unsafe on many levels.
1. Roof: illegal to be on
2. Lighting red lanterns: probably illegal but whatever. Bigger issue: fire hazard, especially with power lines and trees in the way.
3. Combo: Doing something illegal and unsafe in an illegal area, probably not the best way to start the new year.
But we settled for just doing it on the streets. In hindsight, it was probably even more unsafe, seeing how most of the lanterns took about 25 meters to gather enough lift to actually float up rather than straight into the engines of unsuspecting (and nonexcited) people driving their car around on midnight of New Year's.

Of course, celebrated these close calls, destroying the environment, and the new year with some dancing:
