Upside Down Fu

Happy Chinese New Year! Paper cuttings of 福 (Fu) meaning fortune, are a common decoration for the Chinese New Year. Fu is commonly hung upside down. The character for upside down (倒) is very similar to the character for "to arrive" (到). This is a way to say "fortune has arrived" with a visual pun of sorts.
