Hi,

I have just received a new memory card for my digital camera and everything is written in Chinese. Well, I guess it's Chinese and not Japanese because there are none of these "simplified" ideograms you find in Japanese (once upon a time I knew the names of these various ways to write).

With the memory card I got a smallish leatherish towel which I guess is destined to clean something... I guess (again and again) it's for the memory card but then the towel is pretty big compared to the card size.

So I have 2 pics of the piece of paper that was with the towel. Maybe there's someone here who could decipher a bit of what's written and give me a clue?

Hi. You're right that it's Chinese, not Japanese (no Japanese hiragana for grammar/verb endings).

It's a cleaning cloth for electronics but NOT for your memory card.

The key part is the gold rounded rectangle in the middle. It tells you the "range of use" is:

LCD screens / camera lenses / equipment main part (like the front of your DVD player, not the delicate inner workings)

ye4jing1ying2mu4 / xiang1ji1jing4tou2 / qi4cai2 zhu3ti3

That red part below is the important message that this is a "high-quality gift" so "please don't sell" it.

The top is:

Universal ("whole world") Memory Card

The bottom is a bit idiosyncratic:

limitless high quality

Waow, thank you very much! I knew I could count on my fellow Browncoats to help me.

Can you imagine how lost I'd be if I didn't know Firefly? :-D

Thank you again and a happy new year.

We'd all be "lost in the woods."

You're welcome, and happy new year, minus a couple days.
