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’m so sick of this NEW,new what new

So how is the “new” subway? Do they still use those little paper tickets?

It’s the same as the old subway. They are apparently phasing in new smart cards from May, but we’ll see how well they work . . .
Amusingly, on line #13 which now uses little magnetic card tickets, they still keep two 阿姨s standing by to tell you what to do, so they don’t really save any money anyway.

Yeah it was like this when I was in Beijing last spring.

Do they have a subway map that shows all the lines yet? It seems like when I am in Beijing all I see in the station is the “circle line” and the line that run east and west.
