Spring Festival survival tips for foreigners

4. Set off fireworks

I really love to watch them; for some reason they make me feel so excited and happy! I'm really glad I'm here in China for Chinese New Year, I've never seen so many fireworks in my life! I do wish people would be more careful, especially with their children. I saw some kids playing very close to some fireworks that were going off. And I saw some here and there bouncing off buildings & cars.
