Call it quirky, curious, unusual, or downright bizarre traditions, New Year&#8217;s Day celebrations in some countries make you want to scratch your head. Kiribati and Samoa are the first places to welcome the New Year&#8217;s sun and Hawaii is probably the last. Have a wonderful new beginning and here&#8217;s a list of the ten best places to spend new year.<\/p>\n<h3>#1. Take a Leap of Faith in Brazil<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_15318\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/travel-blog\/1.-Brazil-_jump-over-seven-waves-on-a-beach.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15318\" class=\"wp-image-15318 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/travel-blog\/1.-Brazil-_jump-over-seven-waves-on-a-beach.jpg\" alt=\"Jump over seven waves on a beach\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15318\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jump over seven waves on a beach<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Beware of Brazilians!

Fun doesn&#8217;t stop there, some throw offerings like flowers, jewelry, mirrors, and what not in the \u201cQueen of the Ocean\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3>#2. Make Some Noise in Philippines<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_15319\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/travel-blog\/7.-Philippines_eat-round-things-like-fruits.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15319\" class=\"wp-image-15319 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/travel-blog\/7.-Philippines_eat-round-things-like-fruits.jpg\" alt=\"New Year Celebrations in the Philippines\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15319\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eat round fruits to scare away the evil spirits<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Wear bright and colorful polka dotted costumes and eat round fruits to get rid of evil spirits.

Drink a Wish in Russia<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_15320\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/travel-blog\/3.-Russia_make-a-wish-on-a-paper-and-drink-champagne.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15320\" class=\"wp-image-15320 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/travel-blog\/3.-Russia_make-a-wish-on-a-paper-and-drink-champagne.jpg\" alt=\"Take a sip of your special champagne\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15320\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Take a sip of your special champagne<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In Russia, Not only you make a wish, you drink it too. When the Kremlin bell chimes, note down your wish on a piece of paper and burn it, then soak the ashes in a glass of champagne, and Voila! Take a sip of your special New Year drink.
