Good Morning

In at least 3 or 4 posts on this blog I have alluded to the ubiquity of fireworks in China. But not until you see/hear a symphony of firecrackers in the middle of a relatively lush housing complex at 9:00am on a Sunday morning do you really understand how common pyromaniacs are over here. So, as you watch this video, please feel a bit of sympathy for me. I rented an apartment in a corner of the city (and not the center, which would be significantly more convenient in terms of going to and from school/work) with the express purpose of enjoying a quiet environment without swarms of people and cars. I never did consider early morning bottle rockets though…



If you don’t feel like watching the whole clip, just skip to the one minute mark. I don’t know what, or why, but something about the kid running through the smoke at the end makes me laugh.
