Chinese New Year

(The view from the roof.)

Last night was Chinese New Year. It was unlike anything I have ever seen before. The fireworks were insane. At the guys' apartment, you can get onto the roof, which is on the 20th floor of their building, and we were able to see the fireworks going off all over the city. They would just set off the fireworks in between buildings, alleys, and you could seem them go off, literally, right in front of us.

(All of us on the roof watching the show!)


The pictures don't nearly do a justice, but here are a few regardless.

Tomorrow, all of us interns are headed up to Harbin. It is a 5-6 hours north, via train. We will get to spend a few days there and go to the famous ice and snow festival.

Sorry this is so short. I am sure there will be plenty of stories when I get back!
