Fireworks, music, dancing… that’s how millions of people worldwide marked the start of 2008.
Sydney Australia started off the midnight party chain with a huge firework celebration from famous Harbor Bridge.
In London, people lined the banks of the River Thames to watch fireworks and hear Big Ben ring 12 times for the start of the new year.

With a new year on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to think about who we are and who we want to be. It’s time to make those New Year’s resolutions.
Whether there’s a goal you’re determined to reach (like the fish in this post), a habit you want to break, or a new perspective you’d like to take, now is the time to go for it.

In my opinion, the best thing about 2007 has been our increased environmental awareness. Many people are thinking “green” these days… and for good reason. Check out this list of the Best Green Ideas of 2007 for a look at some of the best eco-friendly innovations and agreements of the past year.
Here are a few other Best, Worst and Weirdest Lists of 2007:

Inspiration can sometimes be found in the strangest of places. Like a trout farm, for instance.
“Resourceful” trout from a pond in the UK have been escaping through a small pipe 3 feet in the air that leads to a nearby stream. Apparently they’ve had enough of being at the fish farm and have found an unlikely way to freedom.

I remember ice skating as a child. We’d get so bundled up we could barely move and then head out to the frozen pond in the woods. The icy setting was beautiful… perfect except for the bumps, stumps and sticks that often sent us flying. We didn’t have a nice, smooth ice-skating rink in town (we also didn’t know about performance polyester or Smartwool).
So, if you live in one of the cities below, consider yourself lucky. And if your town’s ice skating rink didn’t make the Top 10, just be thankful you can ice skate without hitting a log.
Here are the country’s Top 10 Ice-Skating Rinks as noted by Budget Travel:
