    so uh

    why does a Chinese poster have furigana

    especially when in Japanese use of the above kanji mean something like "trifling" and "light/dull/weak (as in a color)"

    whaaaaat

    @wohdin: It's for Japanese tourists, I'd assume. Hong Kong has quite a few posters and signs with Japanese written on it.

    And the kanji means thin, not trifling or light/dull/weak. The first one means 'lightweight' and the second one is 'thin'. Congrats on failing.

    @ZeroJutsu is self-aware: Good thing it has the period in between. In Chinese those two characters combine their strengths to become "frivolous", which wouldn't exactly do much for the Chinese population.

    But yeah, in HK and even in bigger cities in the mainland, ads with Japanese or English or any number of European languages aren't uncommon at all... especially from a Japanese/English/Etc... firm.

    This is actually a move in Tai-chi, like holding a ball - Sifu never told me it harnessed the power to create slimline PS3 - I knew he was holding back on stuff.

    "That's right, the steaming metropolis will having a big bash for the new Sony console."

    Sorry Ashcraft, have to correct you there. HK is not a metropolis. There is only one metropolis in the world and that is the east cast of the US where the New York, Boston etc cities join together. Thank you.

    Why not sell it where it's made first anyway. The consoles are all made in china I think so it's weird they always did launch elsewhere first but I guess it depends on how good a market there is in china.

    @Devenish: Hong Kong no longer has any manufacturing industry left. Most of the manufacturing is now done in mainland China. As far as anyone is concerned, Hong Kong is technically its own country since the locals there overwhelmingly prefer to speak Cantonese rather than Mandarin.

    @PoweredByHentai: Never said anything about manufacturing, I was referring to street venders.

    Not sure if this was H.K. or not but was my point of reference.
