I was sitting at my desk when I heard the familiar clap of fireworks from the street below. I moseyed on over to the window and here is what I saw:
Check out the mess of traffic on the top. Taiwanese are not the greatest drivers on the planet. It's sort of a every-man-for-himself attitude on the road. Scary, at times.
I managed to capture one the bottle rockets in mid-air. The organizers did a fine job of decorating the buses.
I asked several people in the office and didn't get a definitive answer as to what the occasion was. I am guessing it was in honor of Labor Day, which was the following day.

It seems every other day I come across some small temple bottle rocket party or street parade down here in Taichung. They're pretty cool, apart from the noise, smoke and disruption to traffic. I wish there was some way of finding out about when and where the bigger celebrations are taking place. Something the Taichung city government could add to its crappy website.
I agree. It would be nice to know that the a party is headed your way. It would make for much better photos!...lol
