Ready for New Year's Firework

It's the weekend. Faris went to a birthday invite - this time it's two rounds of gokarting. I asked him if he is going to be competitive. He said he will try. At the end he gave his best shot and got third twice. Most of all he enjoyed the outing and has been awhile since we (father and son) went on go-karting.

Today we went around looking for our supply of fireworks for the new year tradition here. On the eve of new year at 12pm, the whole country basically will go crazy and will play fireworks. Normally one had to order the fireworks beforehand and only collect them a few days before the new year's eve. This is to prevent people from playing too early. All sort of fireworks are sold here. It's amazing to see the wide variety of fireworks being sold as these are basically banned back home. Some costing even over 100 euros. These fireworks have been tested by the authority here, those that were deemed unsafe are not allowed to be sold. Here's the video of us last year.
