Week 65 - Life in Greifswald Week 7: Silvester

Five minute email, go!

The main event of this week was witnessing new years in Germany. They call it Silvester here, and our branch president told us that Germans spend an estimated average 200 million Euro on fireworks for it annually. Everyone just kind of does their own firework show, with even a small city like Greifswald being incredibly loud. We live in a quiet part of town, so we didn't get too bothered by the midnight crescendo, but the hour long walk to our branch president's house at 4:00 pm was even pretty scary. If you want to see some cool fireworks, German New Years is the place to be.



Have a good one, friends!

Liebe Grüße,
Elder Austin Spaulding
