I love these comments and pictures from New Year celebrations around the world. enjoy.

Welcoming 2010

People all around the world gathered in groups large and small last night to usher out the previous year, and welcome the arrival of 2010. Under a rare New Year's Eve Blue Moon, crowds watched fireworks, cheered, made resolutions, and counted down to midnight. 2010 is the year of the Tiger in the Chinese zodiac, signifying a year of bravery and courage. Collected here are some photographs of people across the earth as they welcomed the new year in many different ways. (38 photos total)

Fabulous photos, Tootsie. Thank you for posting. Isn't it funny how, despite our perceived differences around the globe, we all welcome the new year in an amazingly similar way?

Maybe Pakistan is not the best place to set off things that go boom? :dunno:
