Here I am on New Year's Eve contemplating the festivities of the evening and i thought about the fireworks that are set to go off tonight around the world. As most of you know I'm not a fan of fireworks, at least not the ones done here in the USA. Seeing the hanabi (japanese word for fireworks that means fire flower) in Japan really did ruin fireworks for me because now everything else is just less marvelous, usually much less marvelous. I try not to be snobby, fireworks are nice and enjoyable, it's just hard to find them impressive ;) Reminiscing about the hanabi I found this little video that might give you an idea of what fireworks can really do.

Yes...MUCH more marvelous! Hard to fathom how this is done with such precise choreography or just how many fire flowers might be involved. (It doesn't hurt that the music is Mission Impossible.) The Japanese certainly take their hanabi seriously. Thanks. We won't need to go look for any more explosions tonight...and 3 cheers for 2012!
How about we go to Japan for New Year's next year? :) We mostly heard shotguns here. BIG surprise, I know, ha ha.
