On this eve of the Lunar New Year in Asia, a celebration in China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Korea brings joy and fireworks for 7 days. I remember in Beijing every habitant of the city was allowed 20 lbs or 10 Kg of fireworks and all size were sold around the city. With a population of 15 million you do the math, that is a lot of fireworks, day and night to scare away the evil spirits, so the year be fruitful and joyous. I simply loved the madness of it all and the display all around the city.
This music by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov is a classic and I love it.
