Xin nian kuai le! (Happy New Year)


Happy Year of the Dragon!!  Today is the Chinese New Year!  They really celebrate in style we have been seeing fireworks go off around the city for the past couple days, but nothing compared to last night at midnight!  It sounded like we were in a war zone, and the kids slept right through it!  People were lighting off fireworks in the street right by our apartment so they would go off right in our window (we've never been eye level to fireworks)!  The video was taken from our bedroom window!  You can kind of see in the distance all of the other fireworks going off, no matter what window you looked out last night you could see fireworks going off! (We have been told that the fireworks last for about 10 days)  It was crazy!  It was definitely something to see, but I think next year we will go somewhere for the New Year!
(I couldn't get my video to post I will try again tomorrow)
