2010 NYE and beyond...

There are lots of ways to ring in the next decade this evening. But if staying up late and fighting for a cab home isn't your thing, here are a few options to celebrate 2010 beyond tonight's party.

Tomorrow on New Year's Day, the Barbie Cafe hosts a family event from 3 to 5pm. The theme is "I Can Be", a play on all the different kinds of occupations that Barbie has taken on  -- presumably, to inspire you for the new year. The Barbie New Year's Day event costs RMB 150 per family of three, which includes games, prizes and food.

Between 1 to 9 January, you can also make a stop at any Blue Frog location for a New Year treat. Just tell them your New Year's resolution and you'll be handed a free shot. Sounds simple enough... but keeping that resolution might be a different story.
