New Year's Eve Twice in Tornio Finland and Haparanda Sweden

Yesterday evening was New Year's Eve. Here on the Finland and Sweden border new year is every time twice. Even Tornio in Finland and Haparanda in Sweden are almost like one city, there is anyway border between and both countries Finland and Sweden have different time zone. This means also fireworks is twice.

This time the both cities celebrated the New Year's Eve together in the same place just on the border. First band played, then fireworks in Finland, band continued and one hour later fireworks in Sweden.
