Beijing's on Fire!



Today is the 15th day after Chinese new year and people celebrate it here with the whole family by eating a these small balls called Yuan Xiao which refers to the full moon which comes out every 15th of the month. I had a wonderful dinner at Hyan's place tonight! Today is also the last day it's legal to shoot fireworks here so the streets are like war zones, again. After eating those small balls we went to see a tradition Chinese Opera which kicked ass coz Seba the Chinese guy understood everything :) The opera house was really huge and amazing (picture). After the 2h long opera we went home and on the way a car had flipped over on the street and the CCTV (Chinas biggest TV station) tower was on fire. What do we learn about the 15th day after new year? Stay home!
