15 February - Challenge: Out of the Orient

Hmm, sort of ran out of time today, nothing really "hit" me for this
challenge. Was going to buy some "Oriental" inspired foodstuffs to
photograph, but went to the shops & left my list behind & forgot the
Oriental stuff... came home with a nice box of Belgian chocs though - half price!!

So, anyway, a rushed entry here - all to do with "Year of the Pig" -
any guesses what this Chinese symbol represents? First person to guess right
will get my "Golden Dragon" ticket below - you could win a million! ;o))
