I've just been reading about the Year of the Snake . . .

. . . and it appears there are five varieties - wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. This is the year of the Water Snake. I wonder what your Zodiac has to say about the prospects for the coming year . . .

According to my sources ...

That's a great story ...

 
 By: nilomis : February 7th, 2013-10:59
Art, is a wonderful story because includes Hong Kong and a family memento. I love HK for several reasons, the people, food and, in special, because it was there that I got my first serious watch. Thanks for sharing with us, Nilo

I also got my first watch on that trip, Nilo, a Dulux . . .

Tintin is correct, Nilo!
