A “view” of the fireworks. And of the pollution.
Fireworks.
Jill, Nuria and I love fireworks.
So do the Chinese people.
Fireworks actually started in China and they know what they are doing.
Strangely enough, there is a fireworks factory near Nuria’s apartment.
The zoning regulations in China are a bit different than in the USA.
They go off, from what we can tell, about every 2 hours, without a specific reason or time, and last for about 1 minute or so.
We think they are just testing them, but we can’t see them, and we aren’t sure why they would need to test them that often.
We are guessing someone at the factory just likes blowing stuff up and realized they can fire them off, whenever they want, as long as they made up a darn good reason, like “We need to test them every 2.33 hours of the day.”
This includes at night when they are still working.
Luckily, the windows are thick enough that we don’t really hear them while we are trying to sleep.
I do feel bad for the people that live closer to the factory and don’t live in a modern apartment building like the one Nuria lives in.
That would be a bit tiresome to hear these explosions throughout the night.
