well, there is a certain charm in those characters, even if you cannot read them (during a 2*10 hour trip in a chinese bus during the last tug conference one quickly learns to recognize the symbols for gas stations and such -)
browsing a chinese-english dictionary is also fun (i have a small one on my desk; some day i should start collecting dictionaries of all languages that context supports -); with a bit of puzzling one can find out the system behind the way words are made up
