The Year of the Ox
I understand China invented fireworks. So at New Years there is a huge display. Apparently every single one of the 1.3 billion people here buy a case and light them off. Day after day after day. I had better sleeps in Afghanistan next to the airfield. They start around 7:30 am and go until 2 or 3 am. Here are a few pictures from outside the window of my apartment.
Went down to the drum and bell tower as well to see what it was like. Kind of a big square with people shooting fireworks at one another. Ah well. It will all be over soon. It only goes on for about nine days. Happy New Year!
