Terri Mapes has some tips for where to spend New Year's Eve. Unless you're filthy rich, it's probably too late to book a flight and get there. But half the fun of reading travel stuff is the vicarious living you get to do...
Among her suggestions, Edinburgh is intriguing. A number of traditional Celtic events take place in the days before NYE. Berlin would be nice; it's been a while since I've seen Germany...
I was a little disappointed that Terri confined her tips to Europe and the U.S. I have to think the bash in Sydney this year will probably be great. And I know that Singapore used to have some excellent NYE parties.

Think Singapore can be a good choice. Have both characters of the West and Asia.

Volunteering-Peru will find you unpaid work in various social institutions. The only requirement is that you have an adequate level of Spanish for community service. To ensure this, and to help you adapt to this new situation, it is essential that you have followed a Spanish course with us for at least 40 hours (2 weeks).
Throughout your period of voluntary work, Volunteering-Peru will be on hand to ensure you have support and guidance. And, you can tell us how things are working out.
You will need to have a minimum of three weeks to dedicate to the Volunteer Program: the first two weeks previous to the program will be spent studying Spanish only if your Spanish level is basic; the volunteer placement will continue for the following three weeks (or longer if you wish).

Please remember that Volunteering-Peru is a non-profit organisation that does not receive government funding or private donations. All fees paid by volunteers are used to cover administrative and development costs, etc. We strive to keep these fees as low as practical to enable more people to actively participate.

The program is open to any applicant who sincerely wants to share his/her experience and skills and who meet the listed requirements.

New graduates, professionals, craftsmen, retirees, students...all are welcome to apply.

Italy is also really fun to celebrate in. We spent one New Years in Cortina (in the alps) with some Italian friends and has a great time. It was beautiful, snowy, everyone set off fireworks, and we ate some great food. I think that if you get a chance to spend new years anywhere unfamiliar, you're bound to have an unforgettable experience.
