Kate and I went to see the fireworks last Saturday night. I
found out that different fireworks companies take turns at running the show.
You can even go onto a web site and vote for your display. This Saturday was a
really good show – I would vote for this company…. if I could just read the web
site.
As we left we ran into two unique Chinese peddlers: A cotton
candy maker that runs off of bike power and a popcorn maker. Kate got some cotton
candy and it tasted normal- except no pretty colors. The popcorn maker is
totally different from what you would expect. The guy spins this metal cylinder over a fire. When he removes it - he hits some lever and it explodes into a bag. Hot popcorn - no butter. Luckily last semester when Jason
was here, he took photos of the popcorn maker so click on the link. The
pictures are definitely way better than the 1000 words it would take for me to
explain it correctly.
