Have been in PRC for this CNY. The trip can be summarised as just Lunch, big2 and mahjong and Dinner, lunch.....dinner... lunch. There was fireworks near my house also. But I just found it the same for every fireworks. The return trip is a terrible thing. I was stuck in a place, 10 metres in width, 50 metres in length, all jammed with people's heads, before i can pass the immigration. It was an eye-opener for me. Mr BLOG
