OK this is funny. I've had a conversation with more then one person on different occasions in which they've commented on the increasing presence of shop signs in the Cupertino area that are not in english. Having grown up in Cupertino since 1971, I can personally attest that the demographics have changed dramatically and there is definitely a much more prevalent asian community and influence. This is not news. And there's more and more stores and shops that are specifically asian targeted, complete with signs that I can't read, or more often, that are bilingual, but the english is secondary and typically in smaller print beneath the other.SO... (this is where the funny part comes in) I found it amusingly ironic that, when recently driving away from a visit to my mother's home in Cupertino, I drove past a very dirty van parked on the street, the back of which had "Wash Me" written in english, and below it, there were one or two mandarin characters as well.
