This is the year of Tiger in Lunar calendar. One of the symbollic customs in Chinese New Year is having Lion dance. Because it's the year of Tiger, we had 'tiger dance' instead. Something new, and I think the next time I can see this is 12 years later!
Mangosteen - another tropical fruits that not very well-known of. It is also known as the Queen of fruits in the region. I have not tasted this sweet local fruits for years .... glad I was able to 're-united' with mangosteen in 2010! Yum!
