Ring in the New Year in these destinations that do it differently<br />
JUMP WAVES IN COPACABANA<br />
With jaw-dropping firework displays,<br />
musical extravaganzas and a zesty<br />
foodie scene, it comes as no surprise<br />
that Rio de Janeiro is on the wish list<br />
for celebrating New Year's Eve. But<br />
what makes this lively city a once-ina-lifetime<br />
experience is its fun way to<br />
mark the occasion. When the clock<br />
strikes midnight, follow the throng<br />
of people dashing into the ocean at<br />
Copacabana beach and join in the<br />
tradition of jumping seven waves,<br />
making seven wishes as you rise and<br />
fall. The ritual honours Brazil's Goddess<br />
of the Sea, Lemanjá, and is believed<br />
to bless your year ahead with luck,<br />
happiness and prosperity.<br />
BLAZE THROUGH SCOTLAND<br />
If you've seen Edinburgh, head to<br />
Stonehaven, which is illuminated by a<br />
flowing sea of red and orange flames<br />
burning bright for the age-old Scottish<br />
New Year’s Eve tradition, Hogmanay.<br />
Watch in awe as a parade of men in<br />
kilts march through the city's main<br />
streets, swinging great balls of fire<br />
around their heads before tossing them<br />
into the sea. Legend has it that the<br />
ritual helps to ward off evil spirts for<br />
the new year.<br />
SHAKE IT BEAR-STYLE IN ROMANIA<br />
See a troupe of people dressed as<br />
bears dance their way through the<br />
streets of Moldova to the sound of pan<br />
pipes. The locals don bear skins for this<br />
spectacle, which takes place the day<br />
before New Year's Eve. Symbolising<br />
the death of the current year and the<br />
rebirth of a new one, the dance of the<br />
bears was born to ward off bad spirits,<br />
and is now a grizzly Romanian custom.<br />
