Tonight is Guy Fawke's Night - this night marks the only three days of the year that Kiwis can buy fireworks. Poor souls.Guy Fawkes Night (also known as Bonfire Night, Cracker Night, Fireworks Night) is an annual celebration on the evening of the 5th of November. It celebrates the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot of the 5th of November 1605 in which a number of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London, England.

I think it's quite poetic that (due to the time difference) we are celebrating a man who tried to blow up the government on Election Day.

Only 3 days to blow up the sky? I guess that is one extra than you'd get here. Did you actually shoot off some fireworks or only watch?
