Zhong and Chang are the same character

I am slowly learning some chinese, both spoken and written. I have been trying to connect the characters on road signs to the names of the roads, and so far it has been pretty effective. Looking for familiar characters among the thousands of store signs and billboards is a great way to pass the time on the back of the scooter. Especially because the arabic spellings are sometimes very different for the same character (see title). Josh is expert at food words which I find amusing, and I can barely count to ten. Sleep now, work tomorrow.
