It's good to point out positive improvements, so did you notice...

• ...the new station maps appearing in subway cars these days? Super-bubbly look with thick lines and natural English make these a winner in my book.
• ...that China Mobile recharge cards, the paper kind, now list the PIN grouped into units of four numbers separated by commas? This makes it much easier to remember the long-ish number as you type it into your cellphone. China Mobile, good on ya!
