In the United States, New Year's Eve is a major social holiday. Who doesn't like to stay up late, party, and watch the new year ring in? Being more pragmatic, I watch the ball drop in Times Square at 9:00 pm PST and go to bed so I don't loose any sleep. I know, I know, wild times.
By the time New Year's gets to NYC, it's been going on for 17 hours. While I'm sure the Big Apple would like to think the balance of the globe holds their breath until midnight EST, that doesn't happen.
This week, a look at how the rest of the world celebrates New Year's Eve.
TTFN, Fred.
