Chinese New Year Fireworks Farm Drive Neighborhood

This is what it is like to live here in Farm Drive year round. We get to experience the fullness and richness of our neighbors culture! They started shooting off the fireworks around 9 pm in the evening but it really got going at midnight for almost non-stop for 30 minutes. This video is taken right out our back window looking down to the parking lot of our neighbors. They were running around with a band of fireworks, wrapped around their shoulders or their waist! It would finish and they would yell Happy New Year in English. Then start another pack. Next morning it was a wasteland of red paper/graffiti from the fireworks. Seemed to be more than in year's past. A sign that the economy is picking up?

I remember when we were there Stacy thought that we were hearing the start of WWIII. It was crazy!!! Then I went outside and our next door neighbor (who was Chinese) let me participate in the most fireworks I have ever seen in my life. The entire block was going crazy for a solid 30 minutes.

Good times
