Isn't the guy from across the street claim to have the real cheese stead?

Just look it up. Its call Pat's king of steak.

 

[KAL-EL]

@faithfulguy They both 'claim' to have the best. The founders of Pat's King of Steaks, are generally credited with inventing the sandwich in 1930. There is definitely a big rivalry between both places. I personally like them both. All depends on what mood I'm in. Some Philadelphians though have chosen sides

This article (in case you're curious) is a couple of years old, but it basically sums up the situation.

I am currently at work. Lol!

This has to be one of the most boring countries when it comes to officially celebrating the New Year. Most people celebrate the occasion privately because it's just a regular day over here. Although, there are lots of decorations up for 2014 at my work place if that counts for anything.

As far as yesterday is concerned, I got to hang out with a couple of friends, spend some time with my family, & wish my relatives & friends abroad a Happy New Year.

@ResurgentIran

Also to you since you are probably in Denmark too, maybe even Copenhagen, LOL. Who knows what you are up to?

Not much really. Im in Sweden right now with the family, and we spent holidays watching a lot of movies. At new years eve we went up to the roof of the building and we lit and released some of those fire balloons.

 

[Resurrection5782]

He he, I don't really care about the actual day or holiday and never did but people regard the day as a day to go out and do something and have resolutions.

, if I was back in Gaza I wouldn't card less about news years day it would've just been a typical day. But, over there it's fun everyday.

Ah, so people don't celebrate the new year in Gaza? I always thought life would have been tough over there due to the constants conflicts.

Back when I was in university, there was a celebration for most international events in existence. That includes the Islamic festivals, Chinese new year, Nowruz, independence days for every nationality studying at the university, etc. Of course, I didn't attend every celebration, just the ones I found interesting. Our batch of students never got a moment's rest anyway. About a month after semester began, there would be a ton of assignments lasting till the period right before examinations.

They do set off firecrackers and stuff, especially the little kids, firebombs and firecrackers. And some people go out to local parks with family.

It's freezing cold there now for them and they aren't used to it so most people stay at home.
