"New Year in is celebrated in many ways. Some of the younger generation go to dance clubs and party all night. Some cities organise street parties or concerts in the park, with local musicians. My parents usually go to a traditional Hogmanay, but I would say that most people like to spend the evening with friends. It could be at home for dinner or a braai (local word for a barbeque) or at a restaurant or dinner theatre or wherever there is good food, good music and good friends."
