A day at the beach…this is the view of the little hill by the beach. You can see people coming down from a hike and a very laid back life guard on duty.

Magpie Festival

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

These is the paper tribute for a fading tradition, Magpie Festival, also known as Chinese Valentine’s Day. These colorful paper rolls are supposed to be rolls of fabrics which people would send (by burning them) to a fairy for her new clothes. Click here to see the wiki page on this romantic festival; but actually not many people remember it nowadays.
