Lunar New Year Fireworks

The Chinese really know what they're doing when it comes to fireworks. The shelling seemed to go off almost non-stop leading up the the Lunar New Year (January 23rd) and then kept going. Even two weeks later, as we returned to Beijing on February 6th, we could see from the plane that people were still lighting off fireworks all across the city.

Check out the video we took from our balcony in Beijing just before midnight on the eve of the Lunar New Year. Absolute craziness. Fourth of July in the states looks mundane in comparison, I'm sorry to say.
