nothing special here, no fireworks or dragons...
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.-Thoreau

There's usually a giant parade and celebration in San Francisco (Chinese are majority), but the weather's been real nasty, and I don't know if anything happened this time.
Happy New Year.

I'm sure going to have a fun-assed time this weekend. I'm going to be lion dancing and doing a demo for my kung fu school.

Some things I've learned from past years: don't get too close to the firecrackers and ALWAYS wear earplugs!

I think it's obvious not to get close to the firecrackers Wink
For the earplugs..you don't really need it, if you keep distance.

Not really helpful information, they actually light the fireworks and throw them at your feet!

Earplugs are a must.

They hang them somewhere, they don't hold the fireworks in their hands.

Some of them are hung on the doors/out windows/etc.

MOST are THROWN at your feet!

Nope, today was the actual "celebration" part (at least in Boston it was).
