A shower of fireworks over Harbor Bridge christen a new year as a million onlookers celebrate in one of the first major cities to usher in 2007.
A bomb scare in Bangkok, Thailand, caused police to disperse the revelers gathered in Central World Plaza.
But in Japan, hordes of people climb Mount Fuji to see the first sunrise of the new year from the heights. The country's major Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines will likely get 95 million visitors over the first three days of 2007. People there offer prayers for peace, health and prosperity. Hope those prayers work -- could be that's a better way to start the year than with a hangover.
