Eight is a good number in Chinese it symbolises good luck, so a triple eight is especially lucky. The number one, in Cantonese, sounds like the word for “every day”. I hope that itll bring Chinatown good fortune every day! And, of course, it was unveiled on the 18th of August 2008.InterviewerWhat do you want people to take away from ?Wing Kei WongI want people to take a whole experience away from seeing 1888. Its going to be a journey of discovery for a start, its location isnt obvious from the busiest area of Chinatown, although you can see it when youre walking from Gerrard Street to Shaftesbury Avenue. You have to walk past a lot of things to find it. Then, when you find it, youll see the rice bowl is surrounded by a golden glow and, by walking up to it, you can see all of the different stories in the color pictures of the rice bowl and the sepia-toned pictures in the background. Each picture will be around the same size as a regular photograph so, if you sent a picture in, you should be able to find yourself as well.Step4AssignmentsUnit 2 Places (7-8 periods)Step1RevisionReview what they have learnt in the last class by as asking some questions and summarizing the key points and the difficult points.1.
