Times Square Countdown Experience the night when the whole world stopped turning.

Every December 31st of every year. One of the most memorable images of this world is the twinkling lights. loud music and the enormous crowd that gathered in the heart of New York City To join in the countdown to the new year atTimes Square, one of the highlights of the world-class countdown

I've heard for a long time that this place is very crowded. The line was enormously long. If you go in, it will be difficult to come out. And there is no bathroom to use. The advice that people share is:Don't drink a lot of water.Carry a small bottle to sip just enough to moisten your throat. Or if it's really necessary Someone prepared Pampers to wear to fix the problem. It sounds brutal, but that's all behind the scenes of one of the most impressive experiences of the night of your life.

Why must it be at Times Square?

The Times Square area has been counting down since 1907, with the star of the event being the “Crystal Ball” over 3.5 meters in diameter that will be slowly released from the top of One Times Square building in the last 60 seconds before the start of the new year. This joint countdown has become a symbol of a bright beginning. And it is a live broadcast that people all over the world look forward to watching

This ball is not ordinary. Because it's decorated with genuine Waterford crystal and tens of thousands of LED lights that can adjust the color and pattern at any time. It is considered a perfect combination of cutting-edge technology and art

There are a lot of people...but it's reassuring

Even though I know there are a lot of people But I was still really amazed by the atmosphere. People flowing in from all over the world, almost every language and accent could be heard along the way. New York police deployed everywhere. Strictly inspect all aspects of bags and baggage. There are police dogs and patrol helicopters. Let me tell you that it's strict and professional. Until I felt safe even though I was surrounded by tens of thousands of strangers

Whose zone is it?

People who wait early in the morning will be in front near the stage. For those who come during the evening and evening, you may end up at the end of the zone. You can still see the countdown ball from far away. Just the proximity to the main stage atmosphere may be slightly different.

But no matter what zone you are in Everyone came together to sing. Dancing to the music There's even a team handing out party hats and New Year's glasses for you to join in on the fun. Make the atmosphere friendly and have good energy all the time

A fraction of a minute before the world changes years

When it was close to midnight. The countdown sound began to resound loudly.
“Ten… Nine… Eight…”
The atmosphere at that time was hard to tell. It's like everything stopped. Just waiting for the sound of “One” that will change the whole year

Multicolored fireworks were set off in the sky. The glowing ball fell to the end. Many couples turned to kiss each other gratefully. As for those who come alone, you don't have to be afraid of being lonely. Because all around us were filled with smiles, laughter and the words "Happy New Year" that were loud and magnificent together

An experience that you should try at least once

Times Square Countdown may not be the most comfortable event. But it was a night full of memories. There is cold, tiredness, patience...and overwhelming happiness to be a part of a world-class moment

Anyone who is thinking about going to New Year's sometime. It is recommended to prepare well in advance and bring comfortable walking shoes. Warm clothes, light food, and you may have to practice holding back some water, but I guaranteeit's definitely worth it.

And of course after the event...cut back to the morning of the new day. What you see are confetti, fireworks, scraps of party hats. and various kinds of garbage covering the streets It was like the backdrop of a giant party that had just ended. After a while, officers will gradually come in to sweep. Keep it clean diligently. Until New York was restored within a short time

I've tried it twice before. And I still feel that if I have the opportunity...I want to go again. It depends on how much the body's condition will be able to handle it. Because it's really tiring. But it was also exhausting, filled with positive energy, happiness, and laughter from people around us who didn't even know each other

Maybe...the beginning of a new year. It doesn't have to be perfect. Just started with a smile. It might be the best gift of the year
