Very cool. What kind of wood? How long did they take you?

They are a lightweight synthetic material called SignFoam. Easy to carve with hand chisels, didn't take very much time at all.

No, no, MUCH worse!

She said she would give it to me FREE when I was leaving Jeju Island. Two years later my employer suddenly didn't renew my yearly contract and so I took a job on the mainland and the coffee owner was away on a trip in America! Agggghhh! I was tempted to just lift it, as I could always claim what she had said. But I didn't. I plan to return to the island (it's nicknamed "Korea's Hawaii" as it is the biggest island of the nation and has the two southernmost cities on it) next year and claim it from her. I just hope she hasn't sold the biz or else ditched it having forgotten my keen interest and sincere desire to buy it (she thought I was joking, as she paid only a few bucks at a flea market and thought it not worth what I thought it was - ugh Koreans don't appreciate hockey, they really don't. Baseball and basketball are huge here, but not ice hockey, hence why it's so easy for me to get tickets to Canada's Olympic games next February as well as bronze and gold medal games).

Jiri Slegr celebrates a Czechoslovakian opening round Olympic win in 1992 over the ex-Soviet "Unified" team 3-2 in Albertville, France (a tourney Canadians conveniently forget: Joe Juneau led the tourney in scoring, Lindros was 5th behind Selanne, Lang and Khomutov, but Sean Burke couldn't win the gold medal game).

EDIT: I'd almost forgotten this is a thread about ART other than photography!

Here, I dug up a Czechoslovakian painting about an Winter Olympic game:

Did you ever get that sign?

Nope.
