Bats, seen in numerous carvings and sculptures in the Summer Palace complex, are a sign of happiness and longevity. These were found on a door, near the Harmony Court between the Long Corridor and the east entrance.
I wear a lot of hats: Consultant (Always Upward); Contributing Editor (Gifts and Decorative Accessories Magazine); retail networks founder (RetailSpeaks, Brilliant Ink, the Print Lab); seated member on a bunch of national boards; and chocolate junkie. Some days, I wear all the hats at once. Just goes to show that good chocolate makes all things possible.
