<< review queue entry 69301 - submitted by 'garbaz' >> https://youtu.be/GNK7rPdabu8?t=440 https://www.pinkoi.com/browse?subcategory=506 https://www.moedict.tw/%E6%93%BA%E9%A3%BE There might be a better English term which I can't think of right now. It's those small decorations to put on cupboards and stuff with no practical purpose other than to look nice. ------------------------------- Editor: 但在哥國，嬌貴的蘭花屬於上等花卉，租一盆蘭花來擺飾，租金要哥幣五千 However, in Costa Rica the elegant orchid is an upper-grade flower. To rent a pot of orchids for decoration costs 5000 colon 幾個大玻璃櫃裡，則是各種玉器、三彩、銅器的獅子文物，造型小者有帽花、印紐，大者有家具配件、供桌擺飾。 In the same room, several large glass cabinets contain all kinds of lion artifacts in jade, three-color glaze pottery, bronze and other materials.

The most likely explanation is that the government had been preaching the importance of savings to primary and secondary students for many years; inexpensive plastic piggy banks of all kinds could be found on the market and parents urged children to "feed" their pet swine change. The porkiest plastic pigs could ingest in excess of 1,000 NT$1 coins. Once full, most children couldn't bring themselves to break open their piggy banks, preferring rather to keep them as knickknacks, thus creating a steadily worsening dearth of coinage. |
