Celebrating the Lunar New Year

 We had so much fun creating beautiful lanterns and fish to mark the Lunar New Year which is celebrated in South East Asia. We invited our buddies from Autahi to join us too. We were very fortunate to have Ling and Huifang come to talk to us and share a special celebration.





The lanterns symbolise the wish for a bright future and are now decorating our new expanded Tautoru space. The fish (鱼 Yú /yoo/ in Chinese) sounds like 'surplus' and symbolises good fortune and abundance as well.
