These are the 5 mascot for Beijing 2008 Olympic - Fuwa. They are 4 of China's most popular animals - Fish, Panda, Tibetan Antelope, Swallow & the Olympic Flame.
I like the name of these Mascot as there are underlying meanings behind each name. Each of this Fuwa has a rhyming two-syllable name, a traditional way of expressing names for Children in China. When you put their names together -- Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni, they meant "Welcome to Beijing".
Prior to the opening of the Beijing Olympic, Poh Poh had been buying Fuwa stickers for Ern(the cheapo one from market). Infect, Poh Poh even taught Ern the name Fuwa. So when the Games started, every time we turned on the TV with the mascot shown, Ern will point and shout out loud - "FUWA"!!!!
Because the family members like sports so much, our little girl get little chance to see her usual cartoon. Of coz she complaint and keep saying "Mummy, see cartoon!" but we didn't give in.
Sorry Ern. the Olympic games only happen once every 4 years. So we have to forgo your cartoon for now....
