It was the day where this whole trip to Vilnius was about, to celebrate new year! Yeah, time flies so fast these days. The memory in London is still strongly visible and now 2008 has approached us! Like last year, I had massive great time!! Only this time it was Lithuanian way. With the thick snow covering the city, I truly felt the atmosphere of new year! All supermarkets were full of people trying to do last minute groceries as all shops would be closed on 1st Jan.
I had my new year's party at Giedre's with her other Lithuanian friends. One thing I'll never forget about this new year and my trip to Vilnius as a whole was rolling myself on the icy cold snow with my bathing suit! sounds crazy huh? Well, that's how the Lithuanians do when they go into a sauna in winter. Apparently there's a sauna at Giedre so we all decided to go for a sauna after midnight. And so Virgis set a game rule; nobody is allowed to leave the sauna until everyone in the room agrees, no matter how fucking hot it gets. I patiently waited although god knows how freaking hot I was! It lasted almost half an hour until everyone just couldn't stand the heat and off we ran outside to the garden and rolled ourself on the snow quickly and back to the sauna. It was the craziest thing I've ever done but it felt REALLY good! I was down with cold the very next day...hahahah...poor me. But it was a really good experience! perhaps in a lifetime.
