New Year's Eve in Spain "12 grapes"
There are many different ways to celebrate New Year’s Eve, or Nochevieja which means ‘The Old Night’ in Spain, but there is just one tradition which everyone takes part in. If you want to be part of this custom you must buy 12 grapes and be ready to eat them when the clock strikes midnight. If you can eat one grape per chime you can look forward to a year of happiness and luck. Spanish people usually eat the 12 grapes at home with their families or go to one of the main city squares.On new year’s eve in Spain once Spaniards have had dinner with their family or friends, they start preparing for midnight, making sure that they have twelve grapes each, as well as a glass of Cava to welcome in the New Year. On new years eve in Spain when the clock strikes midnight it is customary to eat one grape per chime while trying to follow the rhythm and not to laugh too much.
After the grape eating, most young people attend New Year parties - cotillones de nochevieja - at pubs or discos.Others prefer to go to a main square to celebrate New Years Eve in the street - the liveliest of all is reputedly Pun del Sal, in Madrid. Early next morning, the party-goers enjoy a breakfast of chocolate con churros (hot chocolate and filed pastry). Tradition states that wearing red underwear brings good luck for the year as long as it’s been bought for you by someone else.
" So where would you be tonight? Again, Happy New Year Peeps! Cheers~ "

Estatic Argentina
Last night, saw the Arggies outclassed the Brazilians in Olympics football semi-finals, which saw rough in the second half play by the Brazilians and two of their players picking up red cards - what a disgrace!
Argentina will face Nigeria in the final. The win was inspired by Barcelona star Lionel Messi and Co against his former team mate Ronaldhino. Goals from Sergio Aguero and the captain Riquelme sunk the Samba boys resulting in a humiliating 3-0 defeat.
Non other than Argentinian and Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano has said that " the win was fantastic and beating Brazil is wonderful! ".His club manager Rafa Benitez will be proud of Mascherano if he wins the gold medal and comes back with a boost to serve his club.
For Brazil I guess they should be settling for the bronze medal and hope they don't repeat their antics against the Arggies.Hope that club scouts are monitoring all the youngsters in action in Beijing and bringing them to next level of their careers, especially playing in some of the best European clubs.
Newcomers Hull City won their first outing against Fulham and it gives them a big boost of confidence . Forget about Gareth Barry's transfer saga, Aston Villa are not distracted and showed this as they started with a win. In their hat-trick hero,Gabriel Agbonlahor I can see the potential of an England player.
Sadly the team Villa beat, Manchester City, are currently troubled by aninternal crisis.Lacking fire power up front has left Manchester United's Sir Alex Fergusona worried man, although he remains keen on signing Spurs' Dimitar Berbatov, which would complete the jigsaw puzzle in a partnership with Rooney and the injured Cristiano Ronaldo.
At the Emirates, the Gunners can play the most beautiful football in the EPL but are they good enough to land title? Honestly, I still missed Thierry Henry at Arsenal.
Some good signing such as Samir Nasri, who scored the winning goal on hisde but will improve the squad along with Carlos Vela, Aaron Ramsey and Lukasz Fabianski. But I would also like to see Theo Walcott more in the young Gunners squad and add more spice to the attack with Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor. The latter's new long-term contract is good news for Gunners fans.
Liverpool look like serious title contenders this season. Maybe the strike-force partnership of "El Nino" Torres and Robbie Keane could be the answer to the long 19-year wait to take the title back to Anfield.
With a new manager and a fabulous new player (Deco) scoring on his debut,Chelsea have all they need to be champions this season. The Blues withboss Luiz Felipe Scolari, look a more stronger squad with their experienced players and great signings. Winning more than a trophy could make Scolari the new "Special One."
The teams to watch are obviously the top four, but there should be some great action at Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Blackburn and Newcastle as they fight for European spots.
