More Fireworks

I've posted another video on YouTube of the fireworks that took place on New Year's Eve. This is the early session that started after supper that night. It's not as impressive as the one that took place at midnight, but still plenty loud. It should give you a sense of what goes on in the neighborhood when people get their pyrotechnics going at the same time. Keep in mind, these aren't professionals, just average citizens letting loose. Believe it or not you can buy these kinds of fireworks at every corner store here without having to have a license or fill out fake forms like you do back home.

Here's the alternate link in case it doesn't load on this page.

Here is another video shot by a guy who lives on the southeast side of town on the 20th floor of a building. It has a more panoramic view of the city and shows how widespread the celebration was.
