One more Chinese lesson? This is the sign of a furniture/household items shop and to you, it can serve as a learn-a-word picture card. The pronunciation is “wun ying” in Cantonese, and I’m sure you know what it means now. Hope you don’t have insect phobia.

March 31st, 2006, at 10:25 pm #Bugs are fine, just not AT THAT SIZE! haha… it kinda gave me the shivers when I first saw the photo. Is it supposed to say: WU YING (instead of WUN YING) to mean ‘fly’? Maybe a typo?

Nicola, I would say the collection is retro, but I’ll take another photo for you to see.
Amande, you are just a top-grade student…
Thanks everyone for the footprints, I think it’s a fun shot and yes, Lucy, a good sense of humor is a must in life!
