Today's Random Observation:

Many shopkeepers have an "open/closed" sign in their windows. Some are closed during the 2-hour afternoon siesta; others are open at that time but closed between lunch and dinner.

There are a wide variety of these small signs, but the majority of them say "To run business" on one side and "drink tea" on the other. So which is which?

just that. the little 2-sided sign does not say "open" or "closed." there is chinese on each side, and then 1 of those english phrases on each side. for the record--"to run business" means "open" and "drink tea" means "closed."
