Well im back from the fatherland and boy was it a good time. I spent the new year celebration in Cologne (Koeln) Germany and man was it fun.

Here they dont have public fireworks put on by the city. It was up to the public to put on their own show. I think just about all of cologne backed onto the 3 bridges above the river i dont know the name of. And the ones who didnt fit were pack on cruises chilling in the water underneath enjoying the show.

Now i must say there is alot of danger in this type of a celebration as u will see by the pics but man is it a risk worth taking.

Funny thing was the faces of the people in the train that happend to be passing in the slow moving party train checking out the fireworks.

not very expensive and no, i didnt bring any fireworks back, i wouldnt dare.

I went through 4 security checks x-raying my carry-on and they x-rayed my baggage right infront of me.
