For those of you who have never been in the Netherlands during New Year’s Eve, it’s wild.

During New Year’s Eve day fireworks can be heard constantly, and when midnight finally hits, it feels and sounds like a war zone, no joke. I was in Amsterdam and Utrecht when I experienced this firsthand, and it was crazy.
