Recently we had our company outing in Qingyue, a hot spring place about a one hour drive away from Guangzhou. On the program there where great activities like seeing the “far between” plants, some “sliding” as well as some serious “field operations”. Huh? Wonder what that is? Me too. Those readers who are living in China know the funny situation where they discover signs or menus in restaurants that offer delicious menus like a “Good to eat mountain” or a “The farmer is small to fry king” plate (found on: http://rahoi.com/2006/03/may-i-take-your-order.php).Like the Xinhua News Agency tells us in October 15, 2006, the city of Beijing is now, certainly in preparation for the millions of foreign visitors coming to the Olympic games in 2008, trying to standardize use of English on public signs (http://www.china.org.cn/english/2006/Oct/183982.htm). Well, I would say it is about time, guys. Hopefully other cities like Guangzhou and Shenzhen will follow this good example?
