Have you seen this advertisement by language school named Berlitz? Apparently, with their help, learning Chinese becomes more than easy! Look at the poster below. This ten-second course for example, already gave you enough knowledge to read the Chinese street signs. Subtlety is great, and it sure conveys the message. Another example can be found inside this article. Not so good place to get lost in the night is Tokyo. At the first glance, you can’t even read the neon signs. Or can you? If you like these kind of illusions, be sure to check Chinese Food Festival optical illusion.

    Oh, that’s really clever- I didn’t even realize at first that it’s all in English- my favorite is MAD DOG TAVERN, it really looks like Chinese (or other Asian language, because I don’t know the difference between any of them).

    I really respected and enjoyed your site until today.

    How can you possibly think promoting Twitter is a good idea?

    Twitter is the gayest thing ever invented.

    It was started by nerds with no life who have no friends to listen to there boring thoughts, and now other no life loners have jumped on the bandwagon because all of sudden they think they have a million friends.

    Seriously man, think about what you are doing to your reputation.

    “Of course that’s not Chinese!!! Chinese is like this,這些才是中文字!!”

    So right, those signs look NOTHING like Chinese. Maybe Arabic?
