The last day of the year is a date to toast for the good things that have happened during this year, and to let go and these things we do not want to remember any more. Each country has its own traditions and its original way to dismiss the year, each one more...

New Year’s Eve in the USA.

One of the most famous places and that is always related to New Year’s Eve is NEW YORK. Although New York is always a good idea no matter when you want to go, it is the place where most people choose to celebrate Christmas. The tradition is to meet in Time Square. At 00.00, the square is crowded of people that meet to see a huge crystal ball going down. While the ball is going down, people start to count down in order to say goodbye to the last seconds of the year.

This tradition is so famous and typical that many are the places around NY that are imitating this custom in a similar way.
