Spring is always a magical time, full of promise and hope for better things to come - a time of rebirth and renewal. In India the festival of Holi has just been celebrated with the joyful throwing of coloured powders. It's the end of winter and the beginning of spring, and a time for singing and dancing. In China the Li Chun festival sees people decorating eggs and trying to balance them, in the hope of having fortune smile on them for the rest of the year.
