After possibly the most unusual year in our collective lives, people all across the globe have kept the New Year, hoping that 2021 will bring back some semblance of normality.
We kept an eye on the parties, starting with fireworks in New Zealand, before heading to their Marine neighbours, Australia, where Sydney Harbour was lit up in noble fashion. From where to Asia, the Gulf, and finally, Europe.
New Zealand was one of the first roots to ring in 2021 with a show packing 500kg of fireworks.
Celebrations on the island nation will follow the ordinariness of years gone than in most other places as the country is currently free of any confirmed COVID-19 cases.
Recently re-elected Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's regime has started a strict quarantine policy for those accessing the country to try and avoid any new cases of the virus entering New Zealand.
Sydney was next in line for the new year holidays and the firework display over the city's harbour, which is known the world over for being one to watch, didn't disappoint.
Rockets shot out of the Opera House's famous sails, and fountains of rainbow-coloured sparks lit up the sky above the water.
But there weren't the scenes of revellers entering as we saw in Auckland - Sydney's new year fireworks display was crowd-free.A fresh outbreak of COVID-19 has seen the 1 million Sydney homeowners who usually pack the area around the shelter forced to watch the scene on television.
In 2021, people are looking forward to get relaxed as 2020 was a year of full chaos and bad news.
Seems like the dawn of 2021 arrived with a new hope where words like social distancing, pandemic, coronavirus would become something that is left behind in 2020. People are looking forward to see an end on this contagious disease that troubled the entire world and killed thousands of people.
