    New Years Eve is a big load of sh1te anyway. Celebrating something that doesnt even exist.

    You should do what makes you happy, as long as you leave no dead people in your midst.

    Maybe you'll meet the love of your life whilst over there.. then it'd be worthwhile. Unless she's a ho and her pimp won't let her move to rural Ireland. That'd suck :(

    It could all work out very well, better then being alone here IMO, I'd prob do the same myself if i was in the same situation

    I got separated from my mates once in Edinburgh Hogmanay and met some other folks to celebrate the stroke of midnight with. Great time was had anyway.
    Found my mates an hour later.

    Drei, Zwei, Eins... :)

    Fair play to ya though. I always wanted to go to Germany but I'm not sure I'd have the guts to go anywhere alone.

    Berlin's maybe a strange choice if you don't speak the lingo and are going it alone.
    Other than that, I'd say off you go & enjoy yourself. I did loads of solo holidays before, cos I had lots of time off work & my mates didn't. You always meet up with people you can have a few laughs with.

    Go enjoy.

    I was in Berlin recently, great city and the majority of the people there speak English anyways, so no big deal there...

    If I could afford to go back to Helsinki on NYE I would..and I'd be going alone. Go for it. Travelling alone is pretty good, and to go to Berlin too. I hear its a great city.

    I'll buck the trend and say its odd to celebrate NYE on your own in a different city. Solo holidays are fine, I like the idea and flexibility of them. However New Years Eve??? without any friends or family around. Are you sure you won't feel lonely.

    Don't think I would do it myself and I can be a loner.

    The best New Years I ever had was when I was completly alone on the edge of a National Park in NZ. Nobody around for miles and the sun was beating down. I got naked and covered myself in mud from the river. Happy Days :D

    I've spent every New Year's Eve since 2000 either sick or babysitting. I don't get the big deal. Although NYE 2009 should be fun, my sister's having her 21st then, as she turns 21 on Christmas Day. I think it's a pretty good idea!

    Go to Germany and have a ball.

    I'm actually in kinda the same situation, I was asked to take care of something in Amsterdam for work so I'll be there from the 28th untill some time after the 4th, personally I jumped at the offer. I hate all the forced excitment of new years and this year I'll be where no one knows me so I can just do whatever I want instead of being dragged somewhere I don't want to go to spend the night with a bunch of people who for most of them, I can't stand. As for feeling lonely, well I'll probably head out to a club for the night, so I mean, how lonely can you feel in a club on ecstacy with 2000 other people?

    From the NYE Millenium right up to NYE 2003, I religiously purchased a bottle of whiskey and lay back in my flat listening to 'New Skin for the Old Ceremony'(Leonard Cohen) without fail - perversely enjoyed NYE, even looked forward to it...my girlfriend's not to big on Lennie so we're trying for something more sentimental this year...maybe Barry Manilow
