The aftermath: Today was our first day out of the house since New Years' Eve. The streets are a mess of used fireworks everywhere you go. I read that it's a German tradition to set off fireworks outside of your building and wish your neighbours a happy new year while drinking champagne or sekt. From what I've heard the west of Berlin never has anywhere near as much fireworks going off as the east, so I can only imagine what the streets there look like. A friend told us that the streets will be littered with this debris for a few days and then all of a sudden it'll all be gone. I hope they take the snow and slush away too.
