Hee. When I was in Taiwan, I was exploring the night market with a lovely Canadian who spoke Mandarin; and I found this gorgeous little teapot with a tiger on the lid, and when you lifted it there was a dragon on the inside; and it had four Chinese characters on the side, and I said "What does this say, then?"
"Um, I'm not sure - it seems to say 'Tiger lying down, secret dragon', but..."
"Ah," I said. "Crouching tiger, hidden dragon?"
Exit blushing Canadian. And yup, I did buy the teapot.
