One of the things I love about C-land are their journals. Actually, my roommate Andrea and I agreed that this is on the top of both of our "Things we like about C-land lists". Andrea, (who actually journals and has a little bit more of an excuse to buy said objects) frequently comes home with some new journal "finds" which she always eagerly shows me. Many times the journals have funny little sketches or images throughout the inside pages, and of course, no C-land journal would be complete without the Chinglish sayings.
Today, while looking through a bookstore in Kunming, I came across a whole table of little journals, calendars, notebooks, and the like. I spent quite a bit of time picking them up, flipping through them, reading the Chinglish, and commenting on each one, then came home with all of the above (it was hard to even widdle the ones I liked down to that many). These ones are "tame" as far as C-land journals are concerned, the inside pages are blank, or simply lined, and only the two with the travels scenes have any sort of ditty. This one reads:
Europe Tour
Like a great travellers
I have seen more than i remember
and remember more than I have seen
Ahhh precious.
