and deciphered the Chinese characters on the Lion Market sign near my home in San Jose. I discovered that the Chinese characters said "Lion Market" just like the English version of the sign. I felt foolish. That was obvious. I don't know what I thought it might say. In hindsight, it seems pretty funny.

Lion Market
Some time ago, I began wondering what the Chinese characters on many of the Chinese themed stores meant. So I bought a copy of the Langenscheidt's Pocket Dictionary (Chinese/English English/Chinese) and deciphered the Chinese characters on the Lion Market sign near my home in San Jose. I discovered that the Chinese characters said "Lion Market" just like the English version of the sign. I felt foolish. That was obvious. I don't know what I thought it might say. In hindsight, it seems pretty funny.
