Lantern Festival is one of important traditional holidays in Taiwan. Most cities have special events for it. It is fun to catch the fever! I went to Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall, but stayed for only one hour. Because it was so crowded... for more photos

I also have a Michael Shumacher's F2004 which is for Michael's last driver's championship in his formula one career. This model is also made by Hot Wheels and I found it at ToyRus at a discount price.

MY FIRST MODEL GUN

(LS and Tokyo Marui M1911A1 pistols)

Have been playing model guns for more than 2 decades, I still keep my very first model gun, the Colt M1911A1 by LS which a discountined Japanese compay.

This model gun was a gift from my uncle when I was a high school student. At that time, model gun was still in a gray area, and we did not dare to show it to friends. This M1911A1 is a pure model gun which is made of plastic, but can be assembled and disassembled like a real one. I learned a lot from playing this model and it helped me to enjoy sports shooting when I was in States.

Now this model gun is not well functioned and many parts are broken, but I will always keep it, thought I have a much better Tokyo Marui M1911A1 BB gun.
