If there is any interest, I can post more of these tours that we have experienced in this magical land.
I like this sort of thing more than the articles on Chinese art, if that is any help to you. Your excursions look like they were a lot of fun.
Thank you. You will see more of them.
Pretty neat, Buzz. The minnow feet thing grosses me out a little, though.
The part of the sign written in English reminded me of something I often wonder about – do the Chinese not have access to English-speaking proofreaders? Instruction manuals in products from China always seem to be like that, too. Just not quite right. I can't imagine it costing very much to have a native speaker give the translations a quick once-over to get things right. You'd think it would be easy to do.
You wouldn't believe some of the errors I've seen. But you have to realize that English may not have been very popular 4 or 5 decades ago, and that sign is not recent. One that made me laugh was on the observation deck at the top of the Radio and TV Tower in Chengdu.

But my most favourite sign here is one on a store that is walking distance from where we live:
The 'don't give a shit' sign is hilarious! Do the Chinese characters translate to basically the same thing?
I don't know. I'll have to ask someone. The only Chinese character I ever learned was the one for "male" or "men" so I wouldn't walk into the the wrong washroom.
Great article. I felt like I was there, too.
Thanks Bob. More will come.
