Where there’s a will, there’s always a way for party animals. The government’s ban on “open beach parties” may have come as a dampener, but will not prevent many a foreigner from ushering in the New Year with beach parties. Says Sonia Kail, “Though parties are banned, there is no restriction on me going out with my friends to a beach, having a drink and welcoming the New Year by playing music and dancing there by ourselves.” The 29-year-old from Switzerland says, “In my homeland, you don’t get to see the sea. I had always wanted to welcome the New Year on a beach with music.” And she is not alone in this resolve
