Montevideo, much like Kosovo, has a…collective…fireworks display. Buy what you can afford (at any size) and set it off. It leads to some interesting displays overall.

New Year celebrations in Pristina were not what I expected. Kosovars set-off fireworks for many occasions. I frequently hear and see them at the end of local football (that’d be Soccer for the US) games. Given this, I was expecting some coordinated show over some major buildings. There was no such thing. Instead, it seemed everyone around was using whatever fireworks they had on hand, from large professional sized ones to smaller “normal” ones. The entire city skyline was covered in individuals’ fireworks.
