Joe Louis contemplates getting lion-dog bodyguards
See what other blogs are saying about Burmese animal statues:
“Different animals represent different days of the week in the Burmese zodiac. The week day of your birth dictates which station and animal you should visit at the temples. There are eight stations because Wednesday is split into two different animals. This creature is the tiger and represents Monday; it’s worth researching your day of birth before you travel through Burma so you can pay respect through their cultural beliefs to your zodiac animal.”
