Fireworks by Lake Zurich, temporary bars set up along the Limmat and clubs full of party-goers. Whoever celebrated the new year in Zurich would've seen the city transformed from it's usual peaceful state into a party hub with a buzzing atmosphere.
That's what I've heard anyway. I actually returned to Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany to party with some friends of mine there. As you'd expect, this city was also full of party-goers, NYE club events and fireworks – much like any student city!

True to its form as a German club, the night involved a lot of decent electro music, interesting dance moves and cheap alcohol - which had become a little strange to me after spending so much time in Zurich. There were no 16 CHF (~£12) mixer drinks in sight!
Rather disappointingly, I seemed to stumble unknowingly into 2012 as the club didn't bother with a countdown into the new year, so it didn't feel like new year at all, especially when combined with the unfamiliar feeling of spending the festive period away from home. Nonetheless, the night was very enjoyable.
Hope whatever you all got up to, you had fun! Happy new year!
