Fireworks


This video is about the popularity of Chinese fireworks. Every day you hear at some point fireworks being set off in the streets. They are set off for a celebration or an opening of a new store or for recreation. They are believed to ward off evil spirits and bad luck. This week is not the Chinese New Year, as mentioned in the video. This week is May Day Holiday where almost everyone is given a week off of work.
Thomas Hubka and I have already purchased our own fireworks. They are about a foot long each and are set off by twisted one end of them. You are supposed to hold them in your hand as something fires out the end of them. I will let you know if either one us loses our hands.
