Happy New Year everyone!

Even though I’ve lived in China for 9 years, I’ve never actually been in China on THE eve of Chinese New Year.  I can hardly describe what I just experienced!

All I can say is this, China just re-did that famous scene from Crocodile Dundee where he pulls out his huge knife and says “That’s not a knife, THIS is a knife!”  China just said, “Those aren’t fireworks, THESE are fireworks!”
