Fireworks!

So during my first night in Beijing, we set off fireworks! Yay! I don't even remember the last time I set off fireworks. Anyways, it was a lot of fun and surprisingly, you could do it anywhere you wanted to. We set them off in the middle of a small street intersection inside this apartment complex only like 15ft from the buildings. Also, since my relatives live on the top floor of their apartment complex, I got to see tons of other people's fireworks. And these aren't baby fireworks either, these are the real thing. It almost looks like everyone is putting on a small professional fireworks display. And since people are setting off fireworks all week (and I mean ALL WEEK, they were setting them off as early as 7am and as late as 2am) you can pretty much watch fireworks all the time if you wanted to. Oh, and everyone's car alarms were going crazy too. It was a very fun week for fireworks =). Here are some shots I managed to catch.
