What's Chinese for nerd?

by edible_hat » Thu Nov 29, 2007 10:24 am

My aunt got back from China a couple of weeks ago, last night was the first time we've been able to have a proper catch-up with her.

She brought me a wall scroll written in Chinese, which I like to pretend I can read (actually I just know what it says):

To Dawei (the closest Chinese has to Dave), wishing you happiness, from Jan (then the lunar date and the stamp of the guy who wrote it)
Mel Gibson's remake of The Life of Brian is nowhere near as funny as the original.

When I get around to it I'll scan the smaller piece of paper which has the same characters on it with the translation.
