I looked this up when I got back to the apartment. According to Google sources it is actually a guardian lion (C. shishi) and the thing in it's mouth is meant to be a pearl. They always come in pairs facing out and traditionally there is a female (with mouth closed and one paw resting on a cub) on one side and a male on the right (with mouth open and one paw resting on a ball which is meant to represent the property that is being guarded.

On Monday I met a small girl at the food van who was very interested in the fact that I was from the UK. She took out her English school book and although she was very shy about it, wanted to practice a little English. Since then I haven't been there at the time she passes the food van but she asks for me every time she goes past. I am wondering if encounters like these that could lead to some tutoring opportunities. LiXu's daughter is learning English at school and I have started to give her some free tutoring and the plan is that I will see her again for an hour tomorrow night
