Elaine,

These photos are beautiful, especially the one of hundreds of laterns; they look like the are freestanding, you can hardly see how they are hung up. Thanks for sharing.

Now the 2010 is coming. I decide to buy somthing Chinese to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Anyone who has the same idea with me? Fortunately, I find one shop online selling Chinese products including the New Yearing celebration production. Anyone interested can go there. www.char4u.com
