the merlion in japanese guidebook

when tea was last seen in singapore, she had with her a book with super-kawaii drawings of the merlion, and renditions of what the merlion would speak in a conversation (:

yeah, dash likes the merlion, and is glad that the merlion is one of our symbols (: in the book, the merlion was not spewing water, but merely looking friendly and ready to give information about singapore ( :

singapore being a lion city does have a number of lions in our signs and symbols - from the lion on our national emblem, merlion to courtesy lion. *rrwoorr!* :D

(in the botttom picture, we have, from left, rambo, eddie and tea :)
