Chinese New Years Eve in Downtown

Me, Charlie and Beattie stayed at a hotel in downtown Suzhou called the Suzhou Garden View hotel from 8th - 10th prior to and over New Year.  Weather was a little cold but it was very nice.  Lu by the way on all the photo titles means "street".  Charlie must have had more pictures taken of her than she took herself. Fireworks going off all evening but getting more and more the closer to midnight it got then at midnight it was armageddon and the city could have been bombed and you would not have known it  lol.
