Bonfire night (5th Nov)...


went to wolfson college with a few friends specially to see the fireworks. the 30 mins long fireworks display was great! longer than national day ones (i think). anyway i heard it is possible to buy and set fireworks on our own. hey maybe i can try it next yr (if only i have the guts..haha).

oh yes, at one point, we thought that a couple of trees (near the spot where they lit the fireworks) were on fire!! in fact, we were prepared to evacuate. it was only a minute after that we realised that was a bonfire. Read that the british celebrate this day to commemorate Guy Fawkes' (and 12 others) failed attempt to blow up the houses of parliament. http://www.bonefire.org/guy/gunpowder.php.
