Quiet Celebration

 Generally when one thinks of New Year's Eve celebrations it involves considerable noise and otherwise raucous behavior. One of the exceptions is a Balinese New Year called Nyepi which is celebrated in March, it is a day dedicated to silence, fasting and meditation. Most shops don't open and people aren't allowed on the streets and beaches even the airport closes for the day. The only exceptions are emergency services.
