Watching the amazing fireworks at Midnight from the roof top (I could have gone to the Scheveningen beach with CT SS but decided to skip the torture of ride bike in the super cold & windy weather)... became a part of the huge crowd watching thousands of people skinny dipping in icy cold water at Scheveningen beach the North Sea.Its funny but here in The Hague its a tradition, at 12.00 midday on 1st of January every year people dip in the North Sea and wait...by paying money, this year it was a 2 Euro contribution and each brave participant was given orange gloves, cap (before the dip) and a bowl of pea soup (after the dip) all for JUST 2 Euro (dipping, bathing is free otherwise throughout the year....but today it was not) the whole event was sponsored by some company called Knox…my 1st day of year 2012 started with loads of bang, watching ten thousand people actually dipping in the icy cold water and finished it with reading 4109 lecture slides. Happy New Year, Happy Travelling, happy cooking and happy studying to me the whole year.
