Default the Year of The Tiger.

Every year for the Chinese Lunar New Year, the City Council here in Sydney, commissions "Street Art" of the animals from the Chinese calendar.

Most of the statues are so so...but this big boy down at Circular Quay is really impressive. No doubt inflated with hot air from council meetings.

I thought I'd share the pics with my global Subsim buddies.





I like tigers, I wish they were this big .

Anything special happening in Chinatowns where you all are ???

That's awesome, Eisenwurst. Over the years, I have been in a few cities in the U.S and a big yellow duck was making the rounds. I still don't know what that was about.

Thanks CW. A few years back, one of the animal statues, I think it was the goat, was....shall we say...."molested".... by a drunk.

That's a good reason not to drink, Eisenwurst. Otherwise, a drunk bugger may be getting someone's goat.

I don't know big E but apparently, it wasn't enough.


Seriously, the " Big duck was like Eisenwurst's inflatable tiger, only much larger.
