A bit of traditions hong kong photos lanterns sheung wanOne of the people living in the sparkling city (see yesterday’s photo) — this lady works in a lantern shop and kindly agreed to let me take this photo while she assembled a “starfruit” lantern. We chatted for a while and she was sooooooo nice, just before I left I found out her last name is also “Tang”, which is same as mine.

Belle photo, maintenant on connait le secret de la fabrication des lanternes.

W, late happy birthday, I’m not a big fan of the fruit but certainly like starfruit lanterns, especially those made with cellophane paper
thanks, Felicia
Stu, I chatted with her so she should be quite relaxed
