you guys haven't just lived it! It's a night for the family really, but as a "laowei" (that's foreigner to you lot!) here, it's a night of parties! 
the smoke is incredible too... why you ask?... the fireworks! You can buy a box of fireworks here the size of a drinks crate (you lot remember the "pop man" that used to come round as a kid?
) that size... and it's the equivalent of about £3! needless to say the fircrackers are rather spectacular too!
All a good crack though.
oh, and ken, it's xin nian kuai le, which is "happy new year", or kong xie fa tai, which is "where's my present"!... in mandarin anyway! Buggered if i know in cantonese!

My wife's a native Cantonese speaker, so I just go with what she tells me.
