Chinese Sign at Chemist in Dublin, originally uploaded by whykay.

Saw this at the chemist at the Jervis LUAS stop. Anyone know what it means? Welcome, I am guessing? And something else. It’s in Simplified Chinese as well.


UPDATE from Derek via Flickr:

You probably already know the meaning of
“欢迎光临
欢迎所有
中国??” (can’t see the last 2 chars clearly).
“welcome.
welcome all
China (Chinese) ??)”

And…

the second last one is 顾 but I don’t know what the last one is! There is a word 顾客, which means customer, but the last character in the photo is not 客! It has a 日 on the bottom. I’ll have to ask a chinese person!

Final update… (Thanks, Derek and friends)

As I thought, the last one is 客, confirmed by 2 Chinese people.
So, it is:
欢迎光临 huanying guanlin
欢迎所有 huanying suoyou
中国顾客 zhongguo guke
Which means:
Welcome!! (sort of like welcme to our shop)
Welcme all
Chinese customers!
