TITLE: 大年 (DA NIAN)
LOCATION: 许嘉'S GRANDPARENTS
MISSION: CELEBRATE "BIG NEW YEAR"
DATE: 2009-01-25

Today was the big day. Together with 许嘉's uncle and his family we celebrated new year's eve. First, dumplings and tons of food and Chinese booze (baijiu), then the New Year's Eve Show on television. 5 hours of singing, dancing and entertainment (we didn't watch the whole thing, but it was on in the background). Then at 23:00 we watched the fireworks at 儿童乐园 ("Childrens' Part", an amusement park in Tianjin): 30 minutes of non-stop fireworks. The fireworks Västerås City fired away back in the year 2000 suddenly felt small and cheap (we went for my sake, 许嘉 was like "Oh no, not the fireworks AGAIN..."). Afterwards, at midnight, people hit the streets and went crazy with their own firecrackers and whatnot. You really don't need to buy any of your own, just go outside and enjoy the show. Truly a wonderful day, one I am glad I had the opportunity to spend with a Chinese family.
