TAIPEI CITY

I've traveled the world from New York to Cairo to Cape Town to the jungle trains of South East Asia, but no other city's New Year's Eve celebrations have captured my heart like Taipei.
This is most definitely one city that knows how to ring in the New Year in style! And it's not even Chinese New Year yet! But that doesn't stop the celebrations.
With Taipei 101 as the city's centerpiece, the world's tallest occupied building, the inventors of all things firecracker light up this part of the world. They light up the entire city of Taipei and this, the Far East, shines!
Tonight on the streets surrounding Taipei 101 we heard well-wishes from quite literally all walks of life. Taiwanese, Chinese, the Japanese, from foreign expatriates from all over the globe. They're all here, they're most certainly all smiles, and wherever you are, we're wishing you well!
From Taipei with love - Happy New Year and all the best for 2009!

December 31st, 2008 9:09 pm ET Dear Sanjay Gupta, Anderson Cooper, Lisa Ling and Planet in Peril, I feel the endangerment of the mountain gorillas are scaring many citizens. I hope the mountain gorillas reproduce bountifully and have their area safe for them to roam. Thanks, +Miss Autumn Song Cha |

December 31st, 2008 11:51 pm ET Hey Anderson and Kathy!! Ok Kathy, I'm a big 'D List' fan and I remember watching the episode from last year's New Year's Eve broadcast where your staff did shots every time you called Anderson, 'Andy'... so I gotta ask... are this year's magic words "Ryan Seacrest"? |

January 1st, 2009 2:13 am ET I love Cathy, but please don't invite her back next year. I love your segments on CNN, but she over-shadowed you. I can't stand someone who talks to much. It's about you, not her. |
