We spent the beginning day of 2011 down in Kommetjie and it was a pleasant, quiet experience. At the stroke of midnight, a few fireworks sparsely lit up the sky, we can only assume because Kommetjie residents were all in town considerate of the feelings of their firework-fearing pets.
If you didn’t get much of a fireworks display either, fear not, because other countries had ample stocks of the stuff and weren’t shy to show off. Hit the jump to see clips of the New Year’s revelry from Dubai, London, Sydney, and Taipei.
