How I did it: Purchased 200 CHF worth of fireworks with my Aunt and set them off at midnight over the beautiful Lake Constance. It was an unforgettable experience, we weren't the only ones doing this so the pyrotechnics display was brilliant and plentiful. It almost felt like we were in a war zone - dissonant booms and bangs and red-hued glows over the water.

Lessons & tips: Exercise common sense and caution when lighting off fireworks. Point the firework away from yourself. Ensure acquiring fireworks and setting them off is permitted in your country.

Resources: A good head on your shoulders.
