Dim sum – ‘Touch your heart’

Whether for an everyday gathering, or the celebration of a special event – the culinary delights of dim sum and traditional tea have become a long-established custom of Chinese social unions.

It is apt, therefore, that the Cantonese delicacy can literally be translated to mean ‘touch your heart’.

Aboriginal art

Traditional art of the Aborigines was typically inspired by religious rituals and ceremonies.

It was also an important means of communication for tribal people. For security, they started using dots to disguise secret information. ‘Over-dotting’ became critical for obscuring private and sacred information.
