Recently I went for dinner with three friends at the New Loon Fung Chinese restaurant in Soho. Having a keen eye for Internationalization and Localization I took the photo below.

I assume that the secondly line on the photo includes the Chinese transliterations for toilet.

If you are interested in Internationalization and Localization and enjoy Chinese food I suggest you spend sometime in China town as signs for street names include Chinese transliterations and the architecture is quite unique.
