* China parents apologise after teen’s Egypt graffiti exposed

BBC: “The parents of a Chinese teenager exposed and condemned by internet users for vandalising ancient Egyptian artwork have apologised, reports say.

This photo taken at the Luxor Temple in Egypt on 6 May 2013 shows graffiti reportedly from a Chinese tourist

On Friday a micro-blogger posted a photo of graffiti at a temple complex in Luxor, Egypt, which said: “Ding Jinhao was here”.

Angry internet users then managed to identify the teen, posting his date of birth and school online, reports said.

His mother told a local paper they were sorry for his actions.

Luxor is home to a large temple complex, located on the bank of the Nile River, believed to be some 3,500 years old.”

    @Tom – I agree with you. What do you suggest would be an appropriate punishment? If he was in Britain, I would suggest cleaning off graffiti for a week. But I guess in China there is not much graffiti on public monuments or walls.
