28/08/09
Q: If there are “nine millions
bicycles” in Beijing, how many

Wild Boars!
19/12/08
The bronze Florentine wild boar "Porcellino" at the Mercato Nuovo
is probably not a must-see for visitors who
flock to the city but its popularity is clearly
reflected by its shinny snout, stroked for
bringing good luck and to ensure a return to
Florence in the future. There are also several
copies (see link) of the sculpture
around the world. The beast in front of the
Moderna Museet in Stockholm
certainly looks identical and there is a similar
one in front of Deutsches Jagd- und
Fischereimuseum in Munich. This group of wild
boars does seem to roam over the continent!
