"On the records in the 13th century Malay Annals, a prince from Palembang was shipwrecked and washed ashore to an island. There he saw a creature which he believed was a lion. So he named the island "Singa Pura" which means "Lion City", from which the name Singapore was derived.
The lion head symbolises courage, strength and excellence, as well as resilience in the face of challenges. It is in solid red against a white background - the colours of the national flag. Its mane's five partings represent the same five ideals that are embodied in the five stars of the national flag, namely democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality. Its tenacious mien symbolises resolve to face and overcome any challenges." taken from this

i hate dim sum in japan. it sucks. the indescribable thing looks like skate or basically stingray!! and it is delicious!! i shouldn't be talkign about so much food when you have so many cute animal pictures.
What about ligers? Are they african-asian then? I bet lions and tigers are like, oooh ligers are the hottest mix ever- SO EXOTIC
ugh your book is impossible to find. Not available at two barnes and nobles and I couldn't find it at a half price books today. Going to hit up Borders books tomorrow. It bettah be worth it!
I'll be lost too since you HAVEN'T written me directions to your place. UGHGHGHGHHHHHHHH
what book are you trying to find ??
why doesn't andrew just have it delivered to barnes...
I've read that about tigers before, but then I forget! So how do they make Ligers and Tigons if lions and tigers live on different continents?
I love your adventures! Has your photo taking got better these days too? Seems so!
