    T.I.C - "This is China" - Midnight Chinese New Year Fireworks

    I was in Beijing for New Year's Eve, December 31st, and midnight came and went without a single firework going off. I looked out my window of the 20th floor and saw one building that had a "Happy New Year" Sign down it's side... that was it! Last year we were home in Dalian from our holidays on the Saturday after the Chinese New Year, the first set of fireworks went off at 4am, the constant noise of fireworks started at 6am, and I think at about 2:30 in the afternoon I looked at Ann and said, "I think we just went 3 minutes without hearing a firework go off". Seconds later they started again, and I don't think we had another 3 minute break until 1am! But, we were not treated to the visual bonanza Heather got at midnight in Beijing on Chinese New Year this year. Thanks to Heather Davis for sharing the video!
