One of the best things about travel is getting to know new cultures and customs. We’ve found this especially true when it comes to New Year’s traditions: what\u2019s normal in some countries is sometimes a little strange to others\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

1. New Year’s Eve in Spain<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In Spain, New Year\u2019s Eve is all about good timing. When the clock strikes midnight, Spaniards try to eat a grape in time with each chime. Those who don\u2019t manage to cram the right number of grapes at the right time face the threat of bad luck for the following year. Be warned, it\u2019s not as easy as it sounds! Many people practise beforehand to increase their chances of beating the clock.<\/p>\n

2. New Year’s Eve in Scotland<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Scots like to rely on other people as sources of good luck. Many people here hope that a strapping young man (so far, so good!) will come knocking shortly after midnight holding a bottle of whiskey, a loaf of raisin bread and a piece of black coal (weird but we love it). If you let this lovely boy in, you\u2019ll have good luck for the next year.<\/p>\n

3. New Year’s Eve in the Czech Republic<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"2_apple<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Czech like to look to their future around New Year\u2019s, usually with the help of an apple. The fruit is cut in half and the shape of the core determines the person\u2019s fate. If it\u2019s a cross, mischief is on the way, but if it\u2019s a star, you can expect happiness.<\/p>\n

4. New Year’s Eve in Greece<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"3_Gambling\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Greeks are addicted to gambling on New Year\u2019s Eve. Whether at home or in the casino, card and dice games are played in the hope that happiness will shine on the winners throughout the New Year.<\/p>\n

5. New Year’s Eve in Argentina<\/strong><\/h3>\n

People in Buenos Aires, Argentina, are little more creative when it comes to seeing in the New Year. On the last day of the year they shred old documents and papers to symbolise leaving the past behind. Around noon, people throw the scraps of paper from their windows all over the city in a shower of confetti.<\/p>\n

6. New Year’s Eve in Japan<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you want to secure yourself some good luck for the New Year in Japan, you\u2019re going to have to let yourself in for something dangerous.<\/p>\n

Japanese try to polish off a round snack called Mochi to guarantee a long and happy life. In the past, the custom has been known to lead to people choking to death \u2013 we\u2019re not sure if it\u2019s worth the hassle, to be honest\u2026<\/p>\n

7. New Year’s Eve in Italy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"5_389961413_907ebf6e1b_z\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Italians have managed to make the otherwise innocent New Year’s Eve celebration a little bit naughty. Tradition dictates that everyone must wear red underwear on New Year’s eve – be they boxer shorts or sexy lace panties – anything goes, as long as it’s red. Shortly after Christmas, red underwear is stocked exclusively all over the country. In Spain and Chile there is a similar custom. Italians also eat pig\u2019s feet and lentils for good luck with their finances in the coming year\u2026<\/p>\n

8. New Year’s in Brazil<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Similar to Italians, Brazilians usher in the New Year with underwear. To celebrate New Year\u2019s Eve a la Brazil, you\u2019ll have to buy some brand new white underwear and wear it, this symbolises a pure and innocent start to the New Year. In some areas, candles are placed in the sand on the beach. This is believed to bring money, peace and love in the future.<\/p>\n
