Something too common in China...


Like what the title suggests, this is something very common in China. Yet, it is interesting to me. Deeply amusing i should say. Provides me with some kind of entertainment when I'm walking along the streets in China. And nope, I'm not being sarcastic down here. Look closely at the picture of a dustbin and you can see this:

"PROTECT CIRCUMSTANCE BEGIN WITH ME"

I always get to see this sign whenever I'm going for my lessons. Moreover, this dustbin is located at the International School Block in WUST. Weird isn't it? I have seen many of these kind of signs ever since i arrived in China. I seriously wonder how the tourists that come to China get to understand these signs.

I still remember clearly that when China hosted the Olympics last year, it pledged to the whole world that it would brush up it's English usage in China. Looks like it has only been done in places where the Olympics events were held. For the rest, it was still the same. No changes have been done I presume. I understand that China is now a rapidly industrializing & modernizing country. Yet, such simple errors that are not rectified would set them back a long way. China is good in putting its words into actions, but still lag in putting its actions and thoughts into words. That's something they have to work on.

Tomorrow will be filled with a trip to a Fibre Optic Company. Hopefully, it is as interesting as the Steel Factory...

The warming sun,
The mild chilliness,
The sudden gush of cool wind...
That's a perfect combination of weather.
What more could i ask for in Wuhan?
