[New York] Participate in the New Year's Eve countdown in Times Square!

I participated in the New Year's countdown in New York! It's always been my dream to spend New Year's in New York! It's surprisingly tough, and if you don't know, you may regret it... If you're going, please use this as a reference.

[Experience]
○Times Square is divided into sections by gates, and I arrived at 9:30, but it was already super crowded...I couldn't enter from the gate I wanted to enter, so I entered from another place. I happened to enter from a good gate, but people were gathering at a great pace, so I should have had more time. This time the stage was perfect, but it was a bit disappointing that I couldn't see the important ball drop from the gate. But if I had been one step later, I wouldn't have been able to see the stage.

○There are a lot of people, but it's really cold at night. I recommend that you dress as much as you can, even if it's hot during the day.

○Diapers are a must. I only had a minimum amount of water in the morning and afternoon, so I was able to endure from around 9:30 when we started lining up until around 1:00 the next day, but you never know what might happen. I recommend that you wear them because they will keep you warm. Once you go outside the gate, you can't go back in.

○In any case, wear shoes that you're used to wearing! You'll be standing the whole time, so heels are strictly prohibited...It's important that you can wait as comfortably as possible.

○Hats and balloons will be handed out in the second half. This will make it difficult to see the stage, so it's recommended that you find a position where you can see the monitor clearly!
