It's been pouring rain in Sydney the past two days. At lunchtime yesterday the clouds parted long enough for me to be able to go for a quick walk near my office. This corner building intrigues me.
Does anyone know what the Chinese script says?

ReplyDeleteHmmm looks Japanese characters to me though...not sure
ReplyDeleteLOL! Looks Greek to me! (sorry, couldn't resist)
ReplyDeleteIt's Chinese.
ReplyDeleteWe Japanese use Chinese character but not exact.
I think it kind of noodle stand.
Anyone,? Jing?
my turn...it is XX noodle restaurant while XX is not really "translatable"
ReplyDeleteaha, thanks ben and lisi - unfortunately I am sure it is long closed - have never known it as a noodle restaurant. Just another part of the history of this area that's great to know. There were once many Chinese people living, and businesses in this immediate area. Most have now moved a little further west to Chinatown and around, but there's some bits and pieces like this remaining.
ReplyDeleteyeah, its noodle house !
ReplyDeleteham was showing a sign in russian. is it not a rule that signs must be in National language + foreign?...but that's cool!
the chinese characters mean 'reform noodles restaurant'.

ReplyDeleteI have it on VERY good authority that it was a brothel and that the text is Japanese saying: "House of Cherry Blossom".
ReplyDeleteMany brothels in the area.
