Bought a nice chinese paper cut from the shop at town central. A nice 'fu' in the centre with fishes around to signify abundance, and flowers at the sides. The lady in the shop said the pattern at the corners are pomegranate. And the paper cutting is not the mass produced type. Hmmm.... how to tell the difference? The china guy at the pottery stall showed me.... he said, look closely at the cuttings, hand crafted ones will have irregular cuttings and edges will show up imperfections. Look out specially where one cut joins another. This is where imperfections will show up. Nice.....

Like it? paid $5/- for it. I think it's very well done....
