Chinese New Year

Well, we survived Chinese New Year. It was just crazy with all the fireworks. It was mid-night when the whole thing took off. It really sounded like a war zone here. We have a neighbor who must have purchased a mini van FULL of fireworks. 5 nights before the eve he was setting fireworks off in his drive way... After the security guards came out with fire extinguishers to put the fire out that he started on the grass, they made him move his operation out to the driveway next to the street and our house.... Chinese make the most fireworks and use the most fireworks. We are not talking about bottle rockets or small packs of firecrackers but 4th of July professional fireworks. The firecrackers come rolled up in 10 foot long lengths and they are domino together to light in a continuous fashion..... The gate is about 20 feet from our house... Take a look.... It's long but I wanted to give you just a glimpse of the longevity of the fireworks in China... I can still hear them going off tonight... Everyday for the past 2 weeks..... Good thing Beth is completely calm!
