The Most Memorable Wedding – Wed in a Quake
EXTRAORDINARY photographs claiming to show a wedding in progress during the Chinese earthquake in Sichuan province have emerged as more survivor miracle stories are revealed.
Instead of poring over an album of cherished memories, this bride and groom have a collection of chilling reminders of how lucky they are to be alive.
The photo shoot was taking place at the decrepit Church of the Annunciation, a 100-year-old building that was a popular spot for wedding pictures in recent years. The church was built under the direction of French priests outside the city of Pengzhou, and had been damaged long ago by landslides.
The death toll from the earthquake, which measured 7.9 on the Richter scale, is now put at more than 65,000 and more than 20,000 are still missing.

IKEA KNT-Liner Mobile Showroom in Kobe Japan
The Kobe Portliner Monorail in Japan has been decked out in all things Ikea, creating a very Swedish, mobile showroom.
Ikea, known for its affordable, flat-pack furniture, is using the train as an advertising gimmic as the exposure it will get from traveling across Japan will be immense.
It looks very hip, with bold, vibrant colours, and crazy patterns adorning the upholstered seats and adding punch to curtains and towels. Even the outside has been painted in theme, featuring fun retro prints like flowers and hearts.
It was done as part of a promotion for the opening of a new showroom at Port Island later this month; the train will remain Ikea-ed until May 6.

Beijing 2008 Olympics Desktop Wallpaper ScreenSaver
Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games is less than 100 days to go, I am so facinating of getting to China to enjoy the sensational event. I ‘ve started to decorate my desktop with these lovely the mascots of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing; The Fuwa.
The cute Fuwa group consists of five members according to the traditional five elements: Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, and Nini. Each of the five names is designed to look like a plausible name for a small child, while also achieving a more complex task: when the first syllable of each name is put together, it sounds nearly identical to the phrase “北京欢迎你”, Běijīng huānyíng nǐ which means “Beijing welcomes you”.
