Li ho! That's Taiwanese for 'hello', you know. I originally came from Taiwan in 1998. I was a gift given to Mayor Carpenter on his second trip to Taiwan! I know I might look a little scary at first, with these snakes on me, but I assure you, they're quite harmless. They're made of clay - just liked me! I might be short and stocky, but don't let that fool you. I'm a ceremonial vase that was given as a measure of good will towards the City of Lethbridge!
