New Year’s in Berlin ROCKED. And here’s the proof.
We ate, we laughed, we nearly blew our faces off when we set off store-bought fireworks. Twas a fabulous time, and gave me insight into how Germans fete the passing of one year into another. You may remember that I also spent New Year’s in Germany in 2009, but I was way too sick to do little more than clutch my stomach in pain in the room adjacent to where the festivities were taking place. Needless to say, I was grateful to be in good enough health this year (erm, last year? You know what I mean!) to participate in all the fun.
One thing I noted: New Year’s fireworks in Germany (heck in most places in the world other than the U.S. and Canada) seem to be commonplace. Back in Canada, we only have fireworks on Victoria Day (in May) and Canada Day (July 1st). In the U.S., I’m lead to believe that such resplendent fireworks display happen on July 4th. Why is that?
Anyway, I do hope that you enjoyed my little video… and will promptly watch the two videos that follow! Below I’ve included NYE video from friends and fellow travel bloggers/ expats/ fabulous fearless adventurers Nicole is the New Black and Fly Brother. Check out Nicole as she enchants us with her family-friendly New Year’s Eve in Copenhagen, Denmark. Fly Brother tantalizes us with his NYE celebration in sizzling hot Rio de Janeiro (and I’m not just talking about the climate). Both these videos continue to shed light on the expat experience and how New Year’s goes down in these countries. Please feel free to share, comment, and subscribe!
What are some of the New Year’s traditions you have in your country (or family/home)? How are they different from the ones presented here?

Woo hoo great clip! Love the scenes as well as the good ole' fashion house pahrtay!
Is this the first of many more to come? Say yessss!
Dude, I love seeing you in video, you're adorable! Don't peace out so early next time!!!
Love the video and that Canadian twang 🙂 Im in Canadia right now and loving that everyone sounds like me!
Bonne annee ma belle!!
thanks for showing us an insight on how others celebrate around the world. It looked like fun!
Random question: I was wondering what music you used in the background of your clip…it sounds really cool!
Love the videos! You should do more. Makes me want to travel even more 🙂
Nice video, girl! Love that everyone is setting off fireworks…ha 🙂 Probably because I love fire!
I wish I could watch the video, but I'm at work boo! But what a fun place to celebrate NYE!!! Adding it to the list.
you look so beautiful in the video….i love the clips!!
Wow, great video! 🙂 So, I think it's so cool that they set off fireworks in the street. It looked like a Katy Perry video or something out there, haha… (get it? I'm a nerd!)
But anyway, there are usually some form of fireworks in big cities on NYE, but I was so surprised in Paris when there were no fireworks NOR any real countdown… Interesting…
@globe trotter: Thanks for watching!! I've made it a point to make more travel vids in the future, so yes!!!
@Kyle: Thanks love! We really need to get around to making a dancing video- next time we're in the same place, that is!
@Crystal: Haha omg! I swear, the longer I live away from home, the stronger my Canadian accent gets! Wild! How's the weather over there??
@Anon: Glad you liked! The music, I got from Pond5.com, it's royalty free! The first song is called "Berlin", I think? It's like German techno music. I forgot the name of the second one, sorry!
@Marie: Thank you! That really encourages me to do more! I'm glad that you liked!
@Ashley: you little pyromaniac, you!! 😉
@Andi: Watch it later! It might convince you to come to Berlin next time for New Years 🙂
@Mrs. Pancakes: Thank you!
@Erika: haha! You're corny, but so am I 🙂 Weird that Paris didn't have anything though??
oh no! I actually wanted the second song! hahaha oh well! thanks for replying tho!
I am very glad you didn't blow your faces off 🙂
Happy New Year O!
