The world witnesses the trickle of U.S. election results – Diariodelyaqui

From coast to coast, Americans watched the results of the U.S. election, which was crucial elections Tuesday to elect the next president of the United States with a mixture of tension, elation, relief and resignation as the votes were counted.
Young and old mingled in crowds in public spaces, such as Times Square in New York and college campuses, looking for communities of friends to share the night and the roller coaster of emotions as the votes were counted.
Others sought solitude or quieter spaces, such as a darkened beach or a tavern bar, where the glow of handheld devices or neon lights illuminated the results as they came in.
Some prayed. Others rejoiced.
And the world watched, too. From Taiwan to Jerusalem to India, many awaited the outcome of the election and wondered how it would affect their lives in the days, months and years ahead.
