Oh shit. Apparently, it’s tradition here that companies buy one or more “Pagara’s”. My company had 5 of them, together with some other people in the same street. Fun to see everyone like little kids looking at the (big) boxes with explosives :)
Anyway, they started putting the stuff on the road, when the cops came [...]
Christmas is over, and everywhere you see people selling fireworks. Sometimes in stores, but mostly in a 40′ container, with some openings. And, it sells: a lot of noise during the day.
