subject: tattoo translation
Hi Tian,
I love your blog, and I was wondering if you could translate what I got tattooed on my arm some years back. Thanks a lot.
莾 is antiquated version of 莽, which means dense growth of bush or rash.

subject hanzismatter - medical insurance notice
Hi,
Attached is a notice sent by the medical insurance carrier called Aetna. I'm almost sure the Chinese section is illegible unless Aetna is using some kind of crazy font.
Can you please shed some light on what's going on?
Thank you.
Regards,
Lucy

The Chinese text section does appear to be jumbled either from poor printing process or incorrect font.

Hello, long time reader and fan of your blog. I just came across this, and I smell bullsh*t.
http://www.makeyourownjeans.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=21_27_129
Anyway, go nuts :)
Alan and I briefly browsed through the website mentioned above and "Kemuri" section. We can't believe some place is seriously using the Gibberish Chinese Font as is! We will be on the lookout for gullible customers with embroidered butts.
What a bunch of idiots.

subject: Restaurant sign
Hi,
There's a sushi restaurant in Stockholm with this sign which is obviously not japanese, but even in chinese it doesn't *appear* to say anything coherent. Care to shed any light on it, despite it not being a tattoo?
