Celebrating in Style

Australians are an unimaginative lot.
Happy to usurp ideas from all over the globe.
Happy to eat Indian cuisine, raise a few Alpacas, make their own watery, effluent-like Laksa or Pad Thai at home or maybe even attend a local street parade to gawk vacantly while people celebrate Chinese New Year, but when it comes to really celebrating an event with confidence and style, the best that most 'dinkum' Steve and Shirley's can muster is a poxy sparkler or two to outwardly express the sheer joy they are feeling inside.
Half arsed, I say.
We have a lot to learn about communicating our feelings of joy, sadness and relief with others around us.

For years people in the Middle East have adopted the AK-47 as a kind of social or emotional barometer... firing off a few rounds at funerals, weddings, meetings, markets or bus stops is an accepted way of expressing oneself.
