Bonsai
The Japanese and Chinese languages are something of an unfathomable mystery to many of us in the North West corner of Europe. All those strange symbols are not our cup of tea when it comes to making sense of the written word. At least many European languages use the same or similar alphabet so we can make an ill educated guess at what a word might possibly sound like. Despite having had a limited but (some may consider) reasonable amount of contact with Japanese people through my work in the past, I am thoroughly ashamed to admit that my only command of their ancient and complex language is restricted to the words for `yes`, `no`, `goodbye`, `thank you` and the appropriate response to `thank you` which means `don`t mention it` or `you are welcome` and sounds (phonetically, at least) something remarkably like `don`t touch my moustache`. In fact, our experience of South East Asian culture in general is pretty much restricted to affairs oof the stomach. That is unless, of course, you are familiar with the ancient art of Bonsai. Any initiate of the art of Bonsai will be able to add to your vocabulary of `yes`, `no`, `goodbye`, `thank you` and `don`t touch my moustache` two more words of Japanese to increase your fluency. These make up the two halves of the word Bonsai and are `bon` which I am reliably informed is the word in Japanese for basin or bowl) and, (you guessed it) `sai` which apparently means `to plant`. There you are, your first lesson in Bonsai (pronounced bon-sigh) is over. Bet you still can`t write it in Japanese, though.

Band Merchandise
Bands use a variety of merchandise to promote their concerts and new albums. At any major concert you`ll see plenty of Band Merchandise on sale and it`ll look great when waved in the arena or placed onto a bedroom wall. Any band that is looking for suitable types of Band Merchandise to help promote their records can find specialist suppliers who print posters and banners, or emboss fridge magnets and bottle openers. Simple types of promotional Band Merchandise like badges can be given away but they`ll help to boost the band`s image and increase ticket sales for concerts. In fact, as promotional pieces go, Band Merchandise like pin badges can be of real benefit for all types of music groups. Pick from any number of the pin badges and you`ll be able to choose sizes and colours or download your own artwork. With a distinctive style on a highly visible item of Band Merchandise<
