What's New in December December 24th We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! If you also want to send wishes to others, please be our guest and compose and send a Postcard from the fair. December 18th We added eight new regions, Panama and seven more come from Asia: Yemen, Bangladesh, Guam, Malaysia, Mongolia, Burma and Sri Lanka. Among the new pavilions we have The Curse Of The Pharaohs from Egypt. Go there if you want to get caught inside a Pharaohnic tomb! From Finland there is the Web Gallery with lots of nice Web Art. December 16th We have added two new sites. Each features real-time content. The one site, the Breathing Earth, includes visualizations of earthquakes throughout the world over the past 14 days. The other new site is Net Sound Ver.1.0, which has been accessible previously on the Internet in as a demo version. The contents of each site provide a connection to a real world activity. In addition, the countdown to the end of 1996 has begun at the Star Place. Have you noticed the movement of the planets at the Living with Comets site? We have also added visual data of the Hale-Bopp comet, which was photographed at about 19:00 on November 16. Please enjoy.
