Excellent References Can Be the Clincher

Bonsai
The Japanese and Chinese languages are something of an unfathomable mystery to many of us in the North West corner of Europe. All those strange symbols are not our cup of tea when it comes to making sense of the written word. At least many European languages use the same or similar alphabet so we can make an ill educated guess at what a word might possibly sound like. Despite having had a limited but (some may consider) reasonable amount of contact with Japanese people through my work in the past, I am thoroughly ashamed to admit that my only command of their ancient and complex language is restricted to the words for `yes`, `no`, `goodbye`, `thank you` and the appropriate response to `thank you` which means `don`t mention it` or `you are welcome` and sounds (phonetically, at least) something remarkably like `don`t touch my moustache`. In fact, our experience of South East Asian culture in general is pretty much restricted to affairs oof the stomach. That is unless, of course, you are familiar with the ancient art of Bonsai. Any initiate of the art of Bonsai will be able to add to your vocabulary of `yes`, `no`, `goodbye`, `thank you` and `don`t touch my moustache` two more words of Japanese to increase your fluency. These make up the two halves of the word Bonsai and are `bon` which I am reliably informed is the word in Japanese for basin or bowl) and, (you guessed it) `sai` which apparently means `to plant`. There you are, your first lesson in Bonsai (pronounced bon-sigh) is over. Bet you still can`t write it in Japanese, though.

A6 Flyers
A6 Flyers are leaflets that are single paged advertising tools. Flyers usually advertiise an activity or an event such as a concert or a spot for an activity such as a nightclub. A6 Flyers are generally considered to be small-scale advertising tools. Individuals or small organizations usually use them to promote their events or products. A6 Flyers have a maximum A5 size, which is about 6x8 inches. You can find Flyers being handed out on streets, being posted on bulletin boards or being distributed at events. The trend of Flyers being used is also observed a lot in colleges and universities where Flyers are pasted on bulletin boards.
