I have been a fan of the website, Engrish, for years. To my surprise, there is virtually no website existent for pointing out the faults in Westerners’ interest of Eastern culture, especially the usage of Hanzi (漢字), Chinese characters.
As a Chinese-American（美籍华人）, I felt it was necessary to educate the public about the misusage of Chinese characters, Hanzi（漢字）.
The idea came to me after I went to Gallup,
It was nothing new, since most owners of Japanese modified cars like to put on some decorative stickers on their vehicles. What was interesting is that the owner of this particular "Mirage（海市蜃楼）" has put on stickers of “Prelude（披露）” on his Mitsubishi（三菱）, yet Prelude was made by Honda (本田） Motors.
(thanks to Vaara to point out the correct spelling of "Gallup", instead of "Gallop" which I originally had.)
Please feel free to email me with your Hanzi findings.
