The Year of the Hedgehog
November 18, 2004
Pictured above is a Chinese cookie with a happy little girl dancing next to an ignited stick of dynamite.
Boey says that my interpretations of the images on the Chinese cookies are all incorrect (see the June entries). The hedgehog turns out to be a monkey - from the Chinese zodiac, and the frog doesn't have fans in it mouth but coins - symbolising prosperity. Silly me.
