Nice teaser! Keep up the good work! (sorry to break the chinese/australian comments thing )
You're more than welcome elu
Wow only 2nd American comment. Jazz thanks for giving us some very educational teasers. I knew when I saw it was yours that it had to be about the People's Repubic of China and I figured it was the number of states, but couldn't get states out of those two letters. Keep them coming. We all need to learn more about other countries.
Hahaha...the Aussies are starting to take over...!
