Signese.com is a collection of photos of Chinese characters in action. Although most are taken by myself on the streets of Beijing, many are contributions, which can be sent directly from your mobile phone.
Queries and thoughts about the photos are always welcome via the comment function.

* I wonder if anyone can guess the three languages on the sign (obviously one is very easy) and where the picture was taken.

* My guess is Chinese, Hindi, and Arabic.

* Julie, you got and a half out of three. The languages are Chinese, Thai and Yawi. Yawi is a dialect of Malay spoken in the far south of Thailand. It is written using the Arabic script. The photo was taken in Narathiwat, a province of Thailand on the border with Malaysia.
