Gunshots or Fireworks???

It really amused me what happened last week, I was at my neighbour's and we were listening to some music sitting quietly and then we heard some very noisy shots. Every one of us tought that it's gunshots and it was coming from extremely short distance, so we all tought our compound is under attack from the sea side and to protect ourselves from gunshots! we all run to the stairs behind the wall and started screaming. After a couple of minutes we realized that they actually were fireworks coming from a club close to our place. Under normal circumstances one would think that this attitude was paranoid but it's not, it's actually safety alerted:-) as we hear gunshots quite often usually coming from embassy district which is right accross the river. Anyway, it was really funny when we found out about the fireworks and we laughed a lot about us screaming and running in panic:-)))
