I went to parliament again on the last day of 2007, with one of my roommates and a friend from Beijing. It was a big day for that not only would 2007 become the past and would we embrace the come of a new year, but also Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, was celebrating its 150th anniversary. It was 150 Years for Ottawa after being named Canada's capital city.
Fireworks began at 7pm, so we went there at about 6:30pm from my home by walking. Many people with 
their family and friends were strolling at Parliament hill and nearby places. Some folks carring their telephoto cameras and tripods arrived there quite early, so that they could take spots for a better shooting angle. I also brought my tripod there. Here an advice is that if you want to take picture of night scenery and fireworks, tripod is a must, or the picture would blur a lot and those details can be hardly recognized.

We were fairly enjoying the fireworks show and it lasted around 30 min. After that, we entered Fairmont Chateau Laurier, Ottawa's premier business hotel, for a while and watched some Christmas trees and its beautiful interior decorations. After standing outside for a long time in a cold winter day, I warmed up and finally recovered in the hotel. Felt so good!
