that's not limited to China. I first noticed the phenomenon in France in the early '70s. People seem to have improved their English somewhat since then, but the t-shirts often involved some gobbledigook phrase follwed by "Team". I'm also fascinated by people here who have tattoos in Japanese, Arabic, Chinese and so on. I wonder what they say, and I suspect in most cases it's something like Dry Clean Only. > From there, another discussion has spun off in a thread > titled "Ethical photography".
