The small picture in the previous post shows the smallest tiger sculpture that has ever been made. It was created by Taiwanese artist, Chen Forng-shean, who is a specialist of miniature sculptures. The tiger is made from resin and it is only 1 millimeter in length. The artist carved the miniature in anticipation of the Year of the Tiger. (read more here)

The Tiger is coming
Zodiac Tiger
Welcome to 2010. There is a debate whether it should be pronounced in English as 'two thousand (and) ten' or 'twenty ten'. I prefer the first version, mainly because of the sci-fi classic, 2001: A Space Odyssey. In Chinese astrology 2010 will be the Year of the Tiger. According to gotohoroscope.com, "it looks like we've got a mood swinging, vigorous and hard-working year ahead." The Year of the Tiger starts on 14 February so we will see what it holds for us pretty soon. If you are interested in your yearly horoscope click here. If you are more into literature why not read or re-read some quotes from Agatha Christie? She was born in the Year of the Tiger. On the same page you can also read two of his novels online.
