A Chinese magazine



Monday 16 February 2009

I just wanted to show everyone back home what Chinese magazines and books look like. They open on the left, and read backwards from the way we read. The trouble with Chinese is that when it is vertical, it always reads right to left, top to bottom. But when it is horizontal, it can read either right to left or left to right. You just have to know what you're looking for.
