San Francisco hosts one of the largest Chinese communities outside China.  

 

Er, really? It isn't even near the largest in America (and I don't mean the USA, but it's not the largest there either.) Bangkok is much bigger.

Last night was punctuated by many informal (illegal) fireworks ranging from strings of firecrackers to quite a few major reverberating booms.   It's quiet this morning.


Unlicensed fireworks have been illegal here for about a decade, although like so many laws in China, they pass them, but seldom enforce them. However, I haven't heard a single firework this year, probably for the first time ever.

Er, actually it's nowhere near the largest. It isn't even the largest in America (and I don't mean the USA, but it's not the largest there either.)
