These are animals made by an old man out of melted sugar. When we walked up to him, he asked me what my birth animal is, so I told him that I'm a baby of '86, so I'm a tiger (if you'll recall, that's the "hu" from "mamahuhu" that we talked about not long ago). So the man went about blowing a sugar balloon and moulding it into a sort-of tiger form. Then he put it onto what looked like a gourd made of the same stuff. Apparently one is supposed to eat the thing like a candy, but I was just impressed that he made it by hand while I stood there, so I carried it around for an hour or two before I bumped into it getting out of a taxi and it shattered. Anyway, here are some other animals that the old man made.
I was trying to upload other things, but Blogger is not cooperating with me. Maybe another time.
