Kelantan Moon Kite (Wau Bulan) maxicard 吉兰丹月亮型风筝极限片

记得儿时玩风筝都是很小型的,且都是小孩在玩。马来西亚东海岸的吉兰丹州的传统风筝就是不一样,体形大,一般都是大人在玩。吉兰丹风筝俗称“哇”(WAU) ,有好几种的形态,都很华丽传统。

I remember during the childhood days, kites were small in size and kids were playing with the kites, however, in the Malayisain East Coast State of Kelantan, the traditional kite , namely the Wau is generally large in size and adults are playing it instead. Wau comes in several patterns and designs, yearly there are competitions held in the East coast for the kite flying.

Malaysia Costume - Chinese 大马民族服装:华裔 极限片


马来西亚是一个多元种族的国家。华族是三大民族之一。这回邮政发行了一套大马民族服装,选择了把华人的中装旗袍给带上了方寸。有关中衫和旗袍的明信片,还是真难找。去年到太仓出席郑和600周年首航纪念,从入住的花园酒店得来一枚广告明信片,片中刚好有个服务员的穿着是旗袍,且是红彤彤的颜色。和票上的红旗袍倒很和谐,因此采用了这一枚片制作了极限片。
Malaysia is a multi racial country. Chinese is one of the major race. Pos Malaysia Bhd issued a new set of stamp on the traditional costumes of the different races and ZhongSum and QiPao were selected to be featured on the stamp.
Postcards on the theme of Zhong sum and Qipao are NOT easily to be found. I have this postcard which I gathered from the counter of the Garden Hotel @ Taicang, China whilst attending the 600th anniversary of the 1st voyage of ZhengHe (Cheng Ho) in China, and found the card is appropriate for the realisation of a maximum card.

Year of the Boar maxi card (Macau) 澳门丁亥年极限片



The Boar (pig) is the last Zodiac animal of the Chinese Lunar new year. The Pig of Chinese Astrology may be the most generous and honorable Sign of the Zodiac.

Wishing all a happy Lunar Year of the Pig in 2007!
