egg 蛋
 
 
Some very useful characters. I think the most difficult to remember is 蛋, which means 'egg'. I think it combines the characters for 'bolt' and 'bug'. But I often think the 'bolt' character looks like a step. So I imagine stepping on a bug and lots of bug eggs coming out. Creepy, but memorable. 

I think the best character in this set is 机场 'airport'. It's 'machine' + 'open space'. Very easy to remember and pretty useful if you intend to travel to China. 

Another good day.
