<blockquote><img src="http://www.boingboing.net/images/yickem.jpg" align="left" border="0" height="274" width="200"> Last year you linked to my reports on pirate DVDs in China (hilariously bad english.) Well, it's a fetish of mine, and I'm back in the mainland writing and taking tons of pics. Sometimes you find it on a product, or a store's name will reach out and grab you. A caution sign will confuse to all to hell, a menu will cause you to laugh out loud, and occasionally, you'll have to interrupt someone's meal in Cantonese and ask to take a picture of their 13-year-old's t-shirt. <br clear="all"></blockquote><a href="http://www.rahoi.com/2006/02/happy-enjoy.php">Link</a>. <a href="http://www.rahoi.com/2006/02/yickem.php">another</a>, and <a href="http://www.rahoi.com/2006/01/now-with-10-more-manglish.php">more</a>, it's a big country so there's <a href="http://www.rahoi.com/2006/02/back-to-enlisgn.php">more</a>, whoah wait there's still <a href="http://www.rahoi.com/2006/01/missive-accomplished.php">more</a>.
