Happy Chinese New Year to all of You.
As usual the "war" broke loose late in the evening on the 25th - after all had their traditional dinner (tun nian fan) with their families.
If You never been in Beijing during Spring Festival you can not imaging what is all about - it is constant thunder during 24hrs. And it is very LOUD.... the louder the better and more impressive. It is almost impossible to sleep during that night.
We are also unlucky to have a "firework stall" just across the street where they sell fireworks. People just walk a few meters away from the stall and set fire........
But this is the way it is here and this will continue for 15 days in Beijing. After that it stops. But after the first night is just allowed to use firework between 7 in the morning and 24 at night - so we will get some sleep -:)
