I spent a few years living in the international district (Chinatown, Japantown, Little Saigon) and people would set off fireworks and firecrackers in the neighborhood for days or even a couple of weeks after New Year’s. And then again on Chinese New Year’s. And there’s also this group that likes to go and bang on drums while marching around the neighborhood at those times. It was awful and it made my dogs so stressed out.
Now that I live in a mostly Vietnamese neighborhood outside of the international district, I only hear fireworks on New Year’s Eve and Chinese New Year’s. It’s great not having to worry about whether or not I should drug my dogs for days on end.
I personally enjoy fireworks displays, but I don’t think they should be allowed by unlicensed people at their own homes.
A better way to phrase it then is you consider lack of fireworks the best thing about a Vietnamese neighborhood then.
I’ll have days/weeks of fireworks and gunshots, already have on the days before.
It’s really mostly the Chinese population who does the fireworks in the city here. But our Chinatown and Japantown are pretty intertwined and that’s where I lived, so it was very noisy.
