Signese

Isn't a big sign saying hidden yogurt contradictory? :rolleyes:

Give it another month and it'll no longer be necessary for tourists to visit the street

Actually, that's what I like about signese. Lots of new vocabulary, hopefully making it easier to read the signs next time I make it to that part of the world.

It's a bit of a play on words - they sell 西藏 style 酸奶 (made with yak milk? Yeuch). Note the two meanings (and pronunciations) of 藏.

I at least got that they moved next door (and hope that was the right thing to get).

Ah, thanks, I did miss that pun. Humm, do you think it was intentional, or do you think they just looked up 藏 in a C->E dictionary and got that meaning?

Is the use of 至 here (as in 移至) normal? I would expect 移到. It's probably just my ignorance, but I think of 至 as being used more for time (meaning "until"), and 到 more common for locations (meaning "arrive").

I think it is quite normal in written Chinese. 至 sounds more formal than 到.
