There are 6 of us. We were all hatched in Japan and then we were sent to Portland Oregon. We are orphans looking for homes. Brave Domo is ready to start looking for a nice family to live with right now. The rest of us, Ecstatic Domo, Paranoid Domo, Timid Domo, Cuddly Domo, and Kooky Domo will be looking for homes in the near future. All of us are adventurous, even Timid Domo, and so we all want to live with a family who really knows Portland. Therefore, we have created this site to find the perfect homes! For the next 30 days, Brave Domo will have his photo taken somewhere in Portland. The first person who guesses correctly where he is, gets one point. The one person with the most points at the end of 30 days gets to adopt Brave Domo and all of his belongings. (We all have our own unique belongings but only the winner gets to find out what those things are.) After Brave Domo is adopted, the search for the perfect home will continue with one of the remaining 5 of us. Good luck!

"In October 2002, a 12-foot bronze sculpture titled Da Tung (Universal Peace), a replica of a Chinese antique dating from the late Shang Dynasty (1200-1100 BC), was installed in the park between Burnside and Couch streets. The elephant is embellished with figures from ancient Chinese mythology, and carries a baby elephant, Xiang bao bao (Baby Elephant), symbolizing that offspring shall be safe and prosperous. The statue was a gift to the city from Chinese businessman Huo Baozhu, whose foundry in Xi’an, China, is licensed by the national government to reproduce Chinese antiquities. Huo, who visited Portland a number of times, said he was motivated by a love of Chinese history and admiration for Portland."

Ok, Pixie totally deserves a bonus point for that!
Don't be a glory hog, Pixie! I need points too! ^_^
Okay, okay. :)
You rock. ^_^ That's probably the only point I'll get! *giggle*
Domo: This is the coolest.
Eh, I'm not picky... I'm easy!
Thanks for the info about Da Tung, Pixie!
