New years eve in Berlin


At new years eve night in Berlin, the public transportation worked all night.  A lot of people where going from one place to the other. There was a mega party at Brandenburger Tor, but  I left that to the tourists, I prefer to avoid the mass-events and the dangerous way people here play with fireworks. So I spent with a small group of friends at one friends house.
New years eve in the tram
At 2 in the morning the streets were full of people, many were already drunk. I saved a girl from being struck by the coming tram grabbing instinctively her arm, she looked numb at me still don't understanding what I wanted. New years eve in the tram
Inside the tram was full. Many people wore huts or  costumes, like this guy in tiger Outfit.Another guy was constantly asking loud: "who is going to kiss me?" New years eve in the tram

How is new years eve in  your city? How did you celebrate it?

Fun story and lovely depiction! I too prefer to avoid the mass-events, I spent the time watching TV program, saved my energy for new year's day sketch outing.
