Taipei 101 Fireworks Show 2018 Every year, Taipei celebrates New Year by holding countdown concerts and the firework show. On December 31,2017, Lina the kitten and her family decided to watch the firework show at Taipei 101, the tallest building in Taiwan, to bring in the new year. It was freezing cold and crowded with people who wanted to countdown with us, too. Lina and her family looked at the beautiful view of houses, buildings, and lights with excitement. They waited and waited in the cold crowd until finally it was ten seconds left till midnight. They all raised their heads and started to countdown loudly with the big excited crowd.
When it struck midnight, the building got all dark, and the fireworks started to set off in the sky. Some people in the crowd took pictures and videos of Taipei 101 to share with their friends on social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. All of a sudden, a big fire cracker fell on a poor stranger named Sam and burned his white jacket black. Freddy, the anchor of Freddy’s Show, reported this funny news on television and also interviewed Sam to talk about the incident. Finally, Sam became so famous that all the people in the world donated money to help Sam to get a big, fancy, expensive new jacket to cheer up poor little Sam.
