NYE 2021 around the world!
-New York City, America
The hustle-bustle of times square was nowhere to be seen when the clock struck 12:00 and the year ended. Confetti popped on empty streets of NYC and the square was closed to the public but stars like Pitbull and Jennifer Lopez performed as a part of the festivites.
-Sydney, Australia
Sydney Harbour was lit with a 12-minute firework show at midnight, but the spectacle only attracted a few dozen viewers due the covid-19 outbreak in one of the world’s largest countries.
-Mumbai, India
Usually containing a large gathering of excited people, the India gate in Mumbai was seen dark and empty this year as the city had imposed a strict lockdown in the city ahead of NYE 2021 celebrations.

-Seoul, South Korea
In the South Korean capital, New Year’s was unusually quite as the annual bell-ringing ceremony at the Gwanghwamun gate was cancelled which attracts thousand of Seoul residents each new year!
