2 Why We Use English Signs?

I have been to Hongkong and its one of my favorite city in the world. The people are really nice. I was lost a couple of time and each time some gentlemen took away his precious time to help me reach my hotel. The city is vibrant. I still haven't bee to Shanghai but i am eagerly look forward to visit. Its wrong to blame that modern age is creating anything bad. I am Indian and back home I was told that how Indian's respect their guest. Nobody equals the kind of respect we show. Which on travelling around the world I haven't found to be exactly true. There have been so many places where i have found the people to be more hospitable. Infact the more modern people are the less likely to be sufferring from their traditional prejudices.

1 Why We Use English Signs?

Dear All,
Don't worry about this culture invasion thing. Its a farce. Whatever you think are being morphed into due to culture invasion is not true. Because the things you are now using were not there before. If you think by learning english you are loosing your culture than you have defined your culture to be stagnant. Look at your history and you will see that it has been ever evolving. Thus whatever english you are speaking its your language and part of your culture it is not spoken in the way ever britishers did or american. You are a part of it. So if your little child is learning harry potter than remember harry potter was not a british history. Its a global culture. However if you continue to stick to your prehistoric thinking then i think you should change the word westernize to chinized after all the whole world is now using everything made in China. Well i am learning chinese and i love it !
