New Year in Prague[news, park, event, party]Taken 00:50, 01/01/2007 Panoramic photo by Jeffrey Martin |
Anarchy, Chaos, and Fire in every direction. New Year in Prague is special. It is in some way what many parts of the world are like every day. Chaos and anarchy. Look around you at all times or you might be sorry. The 'fireworks show' is largely in the hands of the audience itself. Fireworks come out of every window, and often from just in front and behind you, wherever you may be! Happy New Year! |
