Chinese New Years Fireworks

The Chinese always shoot off fireworks to scare away the evil from the family. They are totally legal so what do any good Minnesotans do? They buy them. We liked them so much that we went back for more. We blew up a thousand fireworks at a time on the sidewalk outside Kyles's apartment (this was the second batch). This is all for the benefit for Andrew and Brandon, our family pyrotechnics. We decided to get some aerial fireworks like our 4th of July (they come 49 to the box). The second video is some of the shots of the high boomers that shot way up in the sky and exploded into many colors. Remember, the Chinese invented fireworks. Now if you multiply that by 12.5 million people in Tianjin or 1.4 billion in the whole country, it was a very noisy time of year. Nobody minds. The two biggest days was Nov 7 (New Years) and Nov 11 (the 5th day of New Years). It was non stop everyday of the week, and some of them were right outside our window. We just had the small ones. Some people bought the 4 inch mortars. All the cars sold here have alarm systems installed and all of the cars' alarm systems were going off as the fireworks went off. I wonder how many car batteries were drained. This was great fun. Andrew and Brandon, enjoy the videos because you will probably never get to do this.
