The New Year has begun. It’s freezing cold in many parts of the northern hemisphere but that doesn’t stop people from having fun. Here’s a round up of some of the festivals making a splash from around the world this January.
Ati-Atihan Festival, Philippines
14th -16th January
Held every third Sunday in the month of January, this festival is a cross between Thanksgiving and Mardi Gras, Philippino style. It is one of the biggest events in the cultural calendar and a must visit for travellers in the region. Expect much singing, dancing, music and food.
World Buskers Festival, New Zealand
21st – 31st January
This is the meeting of the world’s best buskers. For 10 days, the streets and pavements of Christchurch are transformed into stages for the public. This open air street fest is crammed with entertainment and music for the entire family. With over 450 live shows planned for the upcoming event, you can say goodbye to a boring day at home. (More)

We all wish you a very happy year 2010!
Same time each year, the end of 2009 is a period to think about what has been achieved and what will be done in 2010.
2009 was a good year on EasyExpat's network but the growth was
slower than predicted. Beside the expansion of our guides covering
several new cities, we have implemented a complete new design to our
expat websites.
For 2010 we have already several very exiting projects:
- new forums: a global makeover of the forum to create a community for each destination;
- new functionalities for the classifieds, with a better presentation and subscription;
- more guides: Beijing, Prague, Rio de Janeiro, Seoul... etc;
- many others including more proper translations, blog articles...etc.
And don't forget to have a look at our newest city-guide: Auckland
Our solutions:
Once again, happy new year 2010 with Easy Expat!
