China’s contributions to the world

Posted by admin on Monday, 11 August, 2008

Did everyone watch the opening ceremony of the Olympics? I was mesmerized. It was a real testament to China’s history and its contributions throughout history.

I had quite a few favourites but the maritime segment was one of my favourites. Did anyone see of those guys in robes waving this around?

This morning, I get one of these babies out from our store and tried it out. It actually works quite well. Although not as accurate as the Luo Pan, but when you do want to go back to basics and need a general direction, it still works pretty well.

Makes an excellent gift too! The next five people I need to send something to, is getting this. :)
