So it is Sunday night, 25th of January 2009. I’ve had a very relaxing day, recovering from y’days trip from DXB, and preparing for another week full of meetings, work and individual study and group work. I go to bed just before 11pm, thinking it is just another night and that I will easily fall asleep. But it is Lunar New Year at midnight, this midnight. Room is dark, but outside the dragon intensifies its presence as the time approaches 12. The fireworks get more and more intense, more and more loud. I can’t sleep. I get up. The view from my room’s windows gets more spectacular as time goes by. New Year comes and the dragon’s exhibition of strength is in full swing. The whole city is literally burning under my feet. Feels as if I’m in a war zone and the boom boom will never stop.
