Chinese New Year's Eve!

(One of the many places to buy fireworks on the side of the road)

The best way to explain Chinese New Year's Eve is if everyone did their own personal fireworks show on the 4th of July - where ever they wanted.   I was on the roof of my apartment at midnight.  The fireworks were everywhere even before midnight.

The fireworks went on like that for an hour but didn't stop for hours.  I woke up to them at 6am in the morning.  I guess the Chinese don't sleep on New Year's.

I'm so glad I got to experience this! The Chinese know how to celebrate!
