Episode 5: Breaking dawn clearly portrays the sights and smells of sunrise on the marshes. One only need close ones eyes to instantly bring to mind the distinct smell of still water and flora and fauna, the call of the wild ducks in flight, cheering others on, and the joy of being alive.

Episode 10: Lunar New Year Dress
From the Pauli Hoh collection
Get out that little red dress for the Lunar New Year festivities! The colour red is vitally important to Chinese culture, representing fire and energy, vitality, good luck and prosperity. This dress, with its narrow waist and bell shaped skirt, in vivid shades of red embellished with bamboo leaves is the perfect fit for this time! The Festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar and for the next fortnight visits are made to family and to friends. The visitor will come bearing a small gift to the household, most often citrus fruit, which is said to bring wealth and good fortune. Guests are welcomed with tea and sweet treats served on a round or octagonal tray, symbolising togetherness. Usually the sweets are arranged in amounts divisible by eight as this is a lucky number. The first day of Lunar New Year represents new beginnings with renewed hopes for prosperity and happiness. There is excitement outside provided by Lion and Dragon dances performed in the streets.

"A present for me?" asks Persephone, hardly daring to hope!
