Nate in culture, holiday

This is a picture of when the apartment building near us caught fire. It burned for 45 minutes or so before the police showed up to put out the fire. This didn’t stop anyone from setting off more fireworks.



Here’s the police arriving to the scene... stopping for a chat before entering the burning building.


 
A cute little girl near us who was far less scared of the fireworks than me.

 



 
Nate drawing 天 (tian, the word for day). I left the shutter open for nearly 40 seconds.


My friends, beyond ready to go inside around 1 AM. The fireworks continued all night, all week, and are still going on sometimes randomly throughout the city here in March.
