Fireworks explode in the streets
Hong Kong, China
On the streets with tiny shops exploding fireworks. This noise is worn over the skyscrapers in the sky and over the thick smoke. Young men with muscles frantically beating on their drums, gongs and cymbals. Everyone wants to create a larger sound of his instrument. Lions and dragons playfully dancing in the streets. Wind carries smoke flavor of burning incense. It's Chinese New Year. This is probably the funniest annual celebration in Hong Kong. Filled with the same slow, joy and rituals as they were held for centuries.
