England: Listening to Big Ben's bells toll

“On New Year's Eve, it's traditional for British households to gather waiting for the bells of Big Ben, the clocktower at the Houses of Parliament, to ring in the New Year as midnight strikes,” says Glamour executive editor Natasha Pearlman. “As the bells toll, don't be surprised if a huge circle forms, people link hands, and start singing a traditional song called ‘Auld Lang Syne.’”

United States: Watching the ball drop

Millions of Americans gather around their television sets (or on the streets of Times Square, despite freezing temps) to watch the ball drop at the stroke of midnight each year. Kicking off in 1907 to ring in January 1908, New York Times owner Adolph Ochs created the event to draw attention to the Times’s new headquarters, and it’s been an annual spectacle and one of the most popular New Year’s Eve celebrations ever since.

韓國Korea：吃上健康、長壽象徵的年糕湯

韓國新年的大家會穿上亮麗的傳統韓服，吃上健康、長壽象徵的年糕湯，對韓國人來說，吃了年糕湯才算真正長了一歲，

就像我們是吃了湯圓才算長了一歲是一樣的呢南韓新年慶祝活動集中在除夕到初二，除夕當天晚上南韓人會團聚吃年夜飯，初一時會穿上傳統服裝韓服祭祖，祭祀結束後才能吃第一餐──米糕湯，並依照輩分拜年，給壓歲錢及贈禮。

吃粽子典故，來自於古時越南皇帝將傳位，測驗眾皇子誰能在過年期間做出最好食物便讓位，其中一名和百姓生活且個性低調的皇子，親手利用葉子將米食包裹成正方形和圓形狀，內餡搭配綠豆、紅豆和豬肉，不但感動皇帝，也成為日後人民感恩天地和祖先的習俗。

卞柔勻提到，越南過年還會吃苦瓜，代表吃下肚後，人生什麼苦都會過；另外，春捲也不可錯過，生菜或是炸式口味都有，外型金黃色就像吃金條，有發財之意，民眾只要備料春捲皮、生菜加湯肉、蝦子、蒜和胡椒等食材，再搭配一般市售泰式酸辣醬，輕鬆動手就能吃到家鄉年菜味。

Spain: Eating 12 grapes

The Spanish start off their new year by eating 12 grapes, which symbolize each strike of the clock. The tradition of las doce uvas de la suerte started in the late 19th century and is believed to ward off evil while boosting your chances of a prosperous and lucky new year. However, this will work only if you manage to eat all of the grapes in a matter of seconds since they need to be gone by the time the clock finishes striking midnight.

5. Japan: Eating soba noodles

Here's a New Year's Eve appetizer idea: People in Japan kick off the new year by eating a warm bowl of soba noodles. The tradition dates back to the Kamakura period and is tied to a Buddhist temple giving out the noodles to the poor. Because the long thin noodles are firm yet easy to bite, it is believed eating them symbolizes a literal break away from the old year.

日本人的新年一定會吃蕎麥麵，對於日本人有招財長壽且將厄運斬除之意。
