Kaboom!

 Last night was the end of the Chinese New Year and boy were there a LOT of fireworks!  The thing about fireworks here is that there are no safety regulations.  You want set it off right between two buildings?  Sure!  You want to set off 10 at once?  No problem!  These are huge fireworks-very much 4th of July worthy.  I remember my brothers being excited about setting off bottle rockets--boy would they have had fun growing up here!  (I noticed this morning there were many extra street sweepers on hand to clean up all the firecracker/works leavings!)
