New Year Around the World


Auckland, New Zealand- The first country in the world to celebrate New Year (photo: David Rowland)
New Year is probably the best event celebrated worldwide ever! (yes really! I'm Asian remember?) It's the most celebrated holiday in the Philippines and one I love growing up - just second to my birthday (believe it!) or Christmas itself (believe that too!). Now that tomorrow is New Year's eve, I can't help feel giddy with excitement! I'm a little girl all over again... Ah! Here's a round-up of New Year's celebration around the world from last year's. Enjoy them with me as I reminisce New Year's from my childhood past.

First in the world to celebrate New Year is New Zealand (pictured above). Followed by the rest of the world.
