Almaty, Kazakhstan’s largest city, might have lost their bid to host the 2014 Winter Olympics but they still know how to party!
This photo is from their 2007 celebration of the new year, and there’s no denying they know how to set off a firework or two… thousand.
(way more impressive than any new year’s celebrating I’ve ever done.)

wow, is that a composite photo? pretty amazing.
but still hardly as impressive as this past new years in brooklyn with poppers. i mean, come ON!
can they even make composites in Kazakhstan? do they even have that type of technology? Only kidding (again, Borat, eat your heart out!)
And composite or not it’s pretty effing wonderful looking.
You’re right, not nearly as impressive as those wankers who after our popper-fun decided to brawl on the streets of Williamsburg about who was more hipster than the other.
