San Francisco Chinese New Year Celebration
When I used to live in San Francisco, we would take the Chinese new year celebration pretty seriously. Some of my housemates were Chinese, you see, and their enthusiasm for the parade was contagious. They would get all sorts of Chinese new year decorations – Paper lanterns, electronic dragons with flashing eyes, streamers, banners, and all sorts of other finery. The best part for me, however, was the firecrackers. I have never seen people so excited about fireworks before! They were practically giddy with excitement as they lit them. In a culture where everyone is so jaded about everything, the Chinese new year celebration provides a welcome break.
