CC Team: But the news report can happen more satisfactorily if you guys stay. 
Good evening, morning, night everyone. You are watching news at IF
and we welcome you all to our special segment
It seems like most of us are stuck at home, still. And while there’s no way none of us is going out on New Years because that’s what GOOD HUMANS will do, here’s a little reminisce of how we celebrated New Years before the year that should not be named happened.
New Year in Asia is a big deal. In Japan for example, New Years is celebrated with family and friends with great pomp. On New Year's Eve, all Buddhist temples across Japan ring their auspicious bells exactly 107 times before midnight and exactly once more at midnight to dissolve all sins committed in the past year.
January 1 is the first public holiday in the year for Russians. Most people take a break from their hectic schedules and spend quiet times at home with families. On New Year's Eve the Russian president addresses the nation, and at the stroke of midnight all TV and radio channels broadcast the chimes of the Kremlin's Spasskaya Tower's clock followed by the national anthem of Russia.
In India several cities hold localized New Year parties as well as fireworks displays. This being a public holiday is also a popular time for Indians to travel. Most people however end up seeking the comforts of a known restaurant or shelter of their homes and spend a quiet day away from work.
Large scale parties and get-togethers are organized throughout the states. The largest of these parties happen at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Sydney. The party goes on all night long as free food and beverages are provided throughout. The highlight of all such parties is of course the maginificent display of fireworks at midnight.
In Europe, New Year festivities begin as early as December 1, and is usually clubbed with Christmas Celebrations. The holiday spirit that comes with the onset of winter plays a major role in the enthusiasm shown by the masses. Grand feasts are usually prepared by families.
Most European cities hold beautiful displays of fireworks over the main landmarks that people come to visit from near and far. The most famous among such displays is probably the celebration in London and Paris.
There is no better place to be than Africa when it comes to extravangant New Years celebration. The diverse cultural experiences and a warm climate makes this place a safe haven. From Morocco's desert tours, to South Africa's carnivals and Kenya's safaris, the African continent is adventure every moment.
New Year in the USA is a grand affair. Huge parties are hosted and fireworks are displayed over the major landmarks. All public entertainment stations and restaurants are booked to the brim as people party through the night.
Families mostly spend the onset of the New Year at their homes in Mexico. Lentils play a huge role in celebrations with them being left at doorsteps or being made into soup for a midnight feast. This is because in the Mexican culture lentils signify good luck and abundance.
As for Canadians, the enchanting light show at Niagara Falls, the adventurous ski parties and the party held in L’Olympia de in Montreal are famous all over the world.
While we know Antarctica is missing from the list , it’s better to let the place be for we might need to rehabilitate soon. 🤧And for the next section our dear friends from a far far far away galaxy would like to address our audience. Hoping it’s their last request.
