he should make a trip to some Italian cities (especially in the south of Italy or in the big northern cities with a lot of people with southern heritage)...

 

here it's just 9 p.m. and I could already hear at least a couple of "bombs" (I mean, those are not true fireworks, they are really homemade bombs)...

Yes, but it’s more the fact that we constantly have to remind people not shoot guns straight into the air, into hurricanes (to quote “blow it back to Europe”), etc. that’s really just insane.

People generally say one of two things:

 

- Gelukkig nieuwjaar (happy new year)

- Beste wensen (best wishes)
