Harry is a designer at TEAMS. He has been
indispensably helpful with getting settled
into Shanghai. At a very young age, Chinese
children pick out their English name. Harry,
still very new to the english language, chose his
name not knowing the phallic innuendo that
is his last name. As an adult, he became aware
of the double entendre and wanted to change it,
but it's against the law in China to change your
english fake name. So he is stuck with it.
The shame of it is, his Chinese name was/is "Che".
Harry Wang.
Superb Designer.
Immeasurably Helpful.
Silly Name.
