hmm good question!

last year i was in new orleans…that was fun

i think either Paris or Amsterdamn would be great – both will have city celebrations and libations – i think the most important part will be who you’re with

choose the city according to the people you will be hanging out with

Well we’re still deciding between Paris and Amsterdamn, but from everything I’ve heard on here and other places A’dam seems to be the place to enjoy yourself. And its new years and I’m australian definately up for drinking….
It’s mine and my friend first backpacking trip and we’re real excited about it and keen to make friends and have a good time so maybe doing A’dam at the start of the trip (new years) instead of the end (early feb) is a better idea….will let you know when I finalise the plans..

The people I am going with are 21 and I am 22. And Dont listen to Hope. The other guys that are going with me and all of them drink. Although one doesnt smoke so we’ll see how that works out in Amsterdam.

Hope have I said anything on any other post to make you think Im here to pick up women? I do have a personality so I really dont need the forum to meet women.

Aussie Student do you know of any parties in Amsterdam for New Years? Do you have to get tickets or anything? I havent really looked into that side of my trip yet so Im not sure where we’ll be for new years in Amsterdam. You have anything planned?

I wouldnt say all sorted but booked. We booked our airfare from MSP to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Rome and back. So the definite dates are:

Amsterdam: Dec 28th – January 1
Rome: January 1 – January 5
Amsterdam January 5 – 8

Other than that no definite plans and havent booked hostels or anything like that. Hopefully yours will fall in place soon. Keep me posted on your status!

Copenhagen. Private fireworks displays on every street. Good parties, but no Taxi’s to get you home.
