Year of the Tiger

Unfortunately we were not able to connect to Blogger while in Beijing over the past couple of weeks, so I'll have to play a little catch-up here to post some of the pictures from this trip.

I'm going to attempt to load a video and if it is successful you will get a chance to experience a little bit of the Chinese New Year celebration, but this still doesn't capture what it feels like to see this in real life!



You have to understand that this went on every day with firecrackers, larger than our M-80s, starting at 7am and fireworks from sun down until just after midnight. the largest night displays take place on the first night, the 5th night, and the last night of the New Year. The final night is the largest!

We're still trying to get our days and nights back on track and will be posting the rest of the stories and pictures over the next few days!

Steb - In no way shape or form does this truly compare to being there for it!

RBP, et al - I at least tried to give a feel for what it was like. hopefully this will be a better year for us all!
