The importance of noisemaking in Chinese celebrations is something I learned the hard way the first time I attended a Chinese New Year's parade here in Vancouver - now I know to carry earplugs when I go watch the yearly Dragon Dance!

Definitely takes some time to get used to it, but there's also something really wonderful about the total disruption in celebration. I love that!
