Hi Daniel,

Sorry to hear you were ill and I hope you are on the mend now.

I used to watch a Chinese series on TV here in the UK many years ago now which may have been based on the Journey to the West which is not a story I am familiar with. The 3 main characters were Monkey, Pigsy and Tripitaka ? They were on a journey with a priest who was later found to be female much to the others surprise. The Monkey character could summon up clouds to ride on.

I haven't seen anything quite like your bottle but it's a fun bottle. I would think the head of the tortoise would just be glued to the cork but the size and weight of the head may be a problem.

Regards, Adrian.
