Frohes neues Jahr! · 11:43pm Dec 31st, 2011
I used to think random, indiscriminate firepower was an American specialty, but the fireworks outside my 12th story window in Berlin have put anything I've seen in the States to shame. Everypony in Berlin is crazy! The whole city looks and sounds like a warzone. Berliners apparently think it's fine to aim roman candles at apartment blocks, so I've had some fireworks explode within maybe 30 feet of my face tonight. Thanks to my open window, my room now smells like gunpowder.
But wherever you are, have a Happy New Year! Have fun and don't blow any fingers off!
