Cologne –
Just like New Year's Eve, go to the supermarket and buy some rockets – of course, that does not work for the Kölner Lichter.

For about half an hour, several hundred thousand people called "Oooh" and "Aaah" every second on the banks of the Rhine.

That they are right, put it there. It was nice to watch anyway.
