The crazy part is this isn't even one of those stock photos that gets passed around to all the foreigners in China. I really stood this close to these guys to take the picture. I was at this place for New Year's Eve and I know these guys who are in the picture. I didn't even realize at the time that he was smoking and working with explosives. Call me "desensitized" but that's just how things work here. Crazy.

i guess the chinese are like the french in that they think their pleasures and "rights to enjoy life" come way before anything else...like fire safety around fire works!
nicely done my friend :)

Thanks Beth. I think you could be right about the French and Chinese being similar in this way. Freeing for them but very scary for everyone else.
