Chinese New Year

[sua yai]

I remember Chinese NY, last year.

At 6pm, a friend gave me a cherry bomb which I threw over the road onto some waste ground. Didn't half make a bang!! A couple of seconds later, a plainclothes policeman walked into the bar and gave me a soung ticking off. "You can't set off fireworks after 2pm".

The next night, my friend had a serious pyrotechnic display from the balcony of his bar. Again it was around 6pm. Again, the local constabulary were not amused.

Can I set fireworks off tonight?

Fireworks are already going off where I am, at 11:00 in the morning.

The strings of firecrackers have been going off on our street since just after I got up at 6am....

Part of the local color... and they sure do wake the spirits up!...
