your very own Chinese Name Seals...

A man making the traditional name seals. It's your name in the Chinese Characters engraved on stone. This guy is making them at the Chinatown Night Bazaar.



I had one of these made when I was a little kid. I thought it was fun. Anyone out there also have your own name seal? ;-)

I had mine made in Sydney from a mainlander. Pretty interesting stuff.

Did you know that these seals can be used as official signatures in China?
