London: The arrival of New Year is being welcomed around the globe including Pakistan with tons of fireworks and aerial firing.
The celebrations kicked off in New Zealand as spectators packed into Auckland’s harbor to enjoy the huge display. A stream of fireworks was fired from the 328-meter “Sky Tower.” The main event in Auckland went with a bang, despite the heavy rain forcing the cancellation of several public events in other parts of the country.
Hong Kong staged a spectacular show in Victoria Harbor. Some 400,000 people gathered to watch a million dollars’ worth of fireworks shot from ten skyscrapers.
In Pakistan, New Year 2012, was welcomed across the country with fireworks display and aerial firing.
The celebrations in Japan went on without luxury festivities, as the county went through many trials in 2011. Still suffering the after-effects of the March earthquake, tsunami, and massive radiation leak from Fukushima nuclear plant, Japanese families spent New Year ‘s Eve offering prayers at shrines and temples.
In the UK, thousands of people have flocked to the riverside to watch London light up at midnight. Fireworks will explode from the London Eye, the giant wheel on the River Thames, when Big Ben strikes midnight.
