well, there is a certain charm in those characters, even if you cannot
read them (during a 2*10 hour trip in a chinese bus during the last tug
conference one quickly learns to recognize the symbols for gas stations
and such -)
browsing a chinese-english dictionary is also fun (i have a small one on
my desk; some day i should start collecting dictionaries of all
languages that context supports -); with a bit of puzzling one can find
out the system behind the way words are made up
