The Euros Sure Love Their Pyrotechnics
I don't why it is, but no matter where we travel in Europe at New Year's, the Europeans go absolutely bonkers with fireworks on New Year's Eve on through New Year's Day. It's a constant barrage of flashes and booms. Sleeping at night is nearly impossible. They set the stupid things off all day and night. I guess it's because they don't own firearms to shoot off like we Americans do.
