Can't forget this. Oddly enough, these nonsensical, faux-English trendy shirts and tops, worn mostly by girls but also by sporty guys at times, has become perhaps the most engaging part of my arrival to Sichuan University. In a few days, there have been perhaps four dozen instances where I not only saw the shirt clearly enough, literally stopped in the middle of the street or sidewalk and immediately written it down in my pocket notebook.
I now bring you the best of these, their novelty T's and my novelties.
