I'm curious, "sun" surely has nothing to do with Sun Microsystems.
Chinese "sun" means bamboo sprout (笋) among others, right? Is there
some meaning hidden in the combination with "xi" pronounced [she] then,
or do you pronounce it [ex eye]? 西 means Western I believe, but is
usually placed before rather than after the word it describes AFAICT? :)
