Guy Fawkes Day

This was the 2nd Guy Fawkes day that we have experienced here in NZ. It was a very colourful day as most Kiwis will buy fireworks from the supermarkets and stores and lit the sky up till late at night. Being very "suaku", we drove down the streets along Palmerston North from 9pm onwards and see the night skies being lit up by residents. Only from reports in the press, we realised that it is actually a dangerous day for the firemen and as many as 1700 fires were reported throughout the country on this day itself.
