    The fireworks I bought for 80 RM (about 25 USD)

    A firework. There were so stinking many of them that night.

    I burned myself while shooting off a bottle rocket from my hand. That wasn’t such a great idea. Sparks flew up my sleeve and I got burned all down my right side. Now I see why they are illegal in the USA, haha.

    Sharon posted a really great post about CNY and she posted some cool pics, so to hear more about what I did, go check it out: Sharon’s Blog: Chinese New Year

    I had a lot of fun, ate a lot of Chinese Food, and experienced a lot of new traditions. Gong Xi Fa Cai!
