First in Dubai, we're here with our family from Denmark and London.
00:04
We've come to Dubai because we've heard that the light show is incredible and
00:09
the New Year's fireworks look great, and the food and the people.
00:13
Our families all come here from all around the world.
00:16
And this is like our central meeting point in between China, Asia, Europe.
00:21
And in terms of what we're hoping for the New Year,
00:24
I guess I'm just hoping to have a healthy New Year and go on loads of adventures.
00:28
Yeah, I'm just living my life and really making the most of it.
00:33
Hi, my name is Birte Eriksen.
00:36
I live in China with my husband Henrik.
00:39
And we are here to celebrate the New Year's Eve together with our kids and
00:45
two of their friends, girlfriends.
00:48
We live in China and it's the fourth year now we celebrate
00:54
New Year in different capital cities.
00:57
So we have been in Ho Chi Minh, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and now Dubai
01:03
because we want to see the Burj Khalif fireworks, which should be amazing.
01:08
And I think for me, my hopes and dreams are to be healthy and
01:13
still to travel as much as we can.
01:16
I hope we will stay peaceful and
01:19
that we will take care of the Earth because we only have one Mother Earth.
01:24
And our children and their children need a place, a good place to live.
01:28
Hey everyone, we are here in Dubai for the New Year.
01:32
We just came here to see the fireworks.
01:34
We heard it's the best fireworks in the world.
01:37
And we don't believe in new resolutions, but happy New Year.
01:44
From the beginning, opening this Burj Khalifa and this fountain,
01:50
we used to come, we used to visit this place very often.
01:53
And he's very much interested in viewing this fountain.
01:57
So we have never seen this directly, only in the TV we have seen.
02:04
So we wanted to see, we thought, we made it today.
02:08
Also today, it was not possible for us to see, to come inside.
02:13
But somehow, security and officials, they helped us to come inside and see this place.
02:20
So this is the most happening place in Dubai.
02:24
So we love to watch this lively.
02:27
This is the center of now, where else would we be?
02:30
The family and I, we are actually very, very excited to be here for the New Year's Eve.
02:34
And we can't wait to see the fireworks for the Burj Khalifa
02:38
because this year is going to be spectacular because of the Expo 2020 happening.
02:41
So we are all very excited.
02:42
We have also family visiting from India and especially coming for the New Year.
02:46
So we are here, we are amazingly happy and we are just waiting for the New Year's to happen.
