Dear Venice,
We spent the (Western) New Year in St. Mark's square. You guys don't know what fireworks are. I'll give you an A for the effort, but the execution was flat-out poor. I live in Xining, a relative backwater as far as China is concerned, but Xining's fireworks… fireworks individual families have put together out of their own homes no less, put Venice's to shame. In Venice, my wife said, "Really? They think these are fireworks?"

About TimAs you can see elsewhere on this webpage, I conduct research on ethnic minorities in western China. This blog offers semi-academic musings on the minutiae of daily life out here--the sort of information otherwise destined for footnotes. Categories |
