Guest Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 That was one great show! I really enjoyed watching the Chinese acrobats. Also the fireworks was great. First I thought that the first fireworks show was it, nothing special.. and then after the acrobat show came the main fireworks, which was the way CNY should be celebrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
