(Oct 18. Yong’an, Fujian province) A saleswoman poses with a bamboo keyboard.

The Yong’an Straits Bamboo Arts Pavilion opened on Oct 18 as part of the 2010 Yong’an Bamboo Travel and Culture Festival. The pavilion covers 1,000 square meters and is divided into eight sections to display bamboo craftworks from both the Chinese mainland and Taiwan, among which bamboo keyboards and monitors greatly aroused visitors’ interest.

What an excellent idea for a Christmas or holiday gift!

Obama is now a symbol of recycling

05 September, 2009, 06:53

Turns out Barack Obama is not just the president of hope for the Americans, but also a poster boy for Estonian recycling. He is a big hit in eastern Europe and the Baltic states.

Pictures of the US president were found on garbage cans in the airport of Estonian capital Tallinn, delfi.ee reports.

Obama’s face was accompanied with the three arrows – the symbol of recycling – and his trademark slogan “Yes, we can” both in English and Estonian.

Eesti Pakendiringlus, an Estonian recycled packaging company, made a wordplay of the famous slogan, as the word “can” means not only the ability to do something, but also tin.

Though it is unclear whether Estonian recyclers bothered to obtain any commercial rights on using Obama’s picture, this is not the first time that his image has been used in advertising.

He used to be a poster boy for a Moscow-based dental clinic that promised “Total dental democracy” and an Obama-like mannequin on the window of a clothing store in the city of Rostov-on-Don.
