By now you're prob all bored adn tired with the game. However here's something a bit different for you and allows you to impress the other GTA nerds with your trivia knowledge.

Looking through the Chinatown section is hilarious if you can read a little. Quite obviously a Hong Konger worked on the project because some of the signs only work in Cantonese. ie:

The barber shop in the RH corner is pronounced, "bal gai" in Cantonese. ie. bald guy hair saloon.

which apparently means brothel not culture centre. and the internet cafe sign says 'yellow internet cafe'

Not 100% sure on all of these so I could be wrong.
