When I was in Kuala Lumpur, there was an exhibition like the Elephant Parade in Singapore. Instead of elephants, there are hundreds of bear statues, each one representing a country, promoting international peace and co-operation. I am not as keen on the bears as I was on the elephants, so I didn’t photograph them all. But I did takes photos of all the bears of the countries that we are going to on our trip. As a quiz for my blog readers, see how many you can match to the countries we are visiting (some are pretty easy; some artists have interpreted their brief to create a bear representing their country very literally). To help you out – these are the countries you need to match to the bears:
1. UK
2. Japan
3. China
4. Vietnam
5. Cambodia
6. Thailand
7. India
8. Singapore
9. Malaysia
10. Australia
11. New Zealand
12. Chile
13. Bolivia
14. Peru
15. El Salvador (we stop there for 5 hours to change flights)
16. USA
(NB, yes we did also go to Laos, but they didn’t have a bear for some reason)
Bear A
Bear B
Bear C
Bear D
Bear E
Bear F
Bear G
Bear H
Bear I
Bear J
Bear K
Bear L
Bear M
Bear N
Bear O
Bear P
