KABOOM!!

I think a fireworks store just exploded. I heard of it happening. That or someone was goin’ a little nuts with ‘em. It started out loud and constant, like the speed of those fireworks they launch off from the ground near the end of the show. Then it started getting louder and quicker and more and more and more. it was bright daylight, and must have happened around a corner, since I couldn’t see anything when I looked out the window.

Even during the day, even this far away from the new year, you still hear some fireworks go off every few minutes. That was definitely the biggest I’ve heard.

SPECIAL DOUBLE POST!!! 2 FOR ONE!! FIREWORKS FIREWORKS FIREWORKS!!!

During Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year, take your pick, Fireworks are legal for a period of about 2 weeks. Today must be the last night, ’cause it is crazy. They’ve been going off all day, including in broad daylight. It’s been pretty spectacular since sundown, not a minute when there aren’t some fireworks going off in 3 directions, and like major fireworks, and like major fireworks that people can just BUY. In the CITY. It was snowing too. Down on the street where the fireworks were a few blocks away, it seemed like I was in a warzone, bombs going off not far away as I cross the bridge over the street to get to the bank. It must have been mindblowing on actual the actual New Year. Judging from today, your imagination can go wild and it would probably be accurate. The sky must have been lit up, like when that transformer exploded while I was watching Collateral at the drive-in. If you want to go to China and see something cool, go during Spring Festival. If you want to go to China and see anything else, DO NOT go during Spring Festival.
