Since this marks the end of my time here in mainland China, I can’t
help but post some of the funniest Lost in Engrish Translation signs I’ve come across while traveling here. In no way do I mean any disrespect from posting these (although you would think they would simply ask someone if their sign makes any sense or if it is just plain bad English before they have it made) but since China blocked my blog for almost thirty days, it is my way of saying thank you. To be fair though, not all of these were found in China but the majority of them were. A few of these Lost in Engrish Translation signs you may have seen already in my posts but many of them you have not. Enjoy…
Lost in Engrish Translation
Found in the Olympic Stadium… anyone need to take the Love Elevator?
What a shame… Stabling while I occupy is my favorite thing to do!
Outside the door of our guesthouse in Mongolia. We stayed out after midnight every night in defiance.
Bang-Yu. It means BandAid in Mongolian…
Ah, on second thought, I think I’ll just stay home. Could this look any more confusing?
In the room is OK though….
Because that’s what tourists need… a well-mannered imagination
Seriously. This was the menu.
Apparently there is a Chinatown in China. How fitting.
Are they falling?
Why not throw in sardines, jalapenos and some cold fish head too while your at it.
Can’t wait to go for my foot and body and oil and spa massage
Mind Your Business
Mmmm, I just can’t decide between the butter chocolate yam mud or the flavour of sunshine. Mud or Sunshine… tough decision.
Sounds dirty. Is that what the admission ticket is for?
Found on the Great Wall of China. Striding must be a common occurrence here.
OK
Aisa Food in Asia. They did such a great job with the rest of the menu….
At least they tried their best with this menu. The Steamed Fish Head sounds delicious.
China Keepin it Classy
How ironic! I had actually been in the mood that day to clean a public bathroom. Here was my chance!
I am at a loss. I thought we spoke the same language but I truly have no idea what this means.
And if its not civilized?
Thanks for the tip
Yes, plants do make air gurified
Once again, I am at a loss…
“Ah, yeah. I’d like to put in an order for some Cold Noodle with a side of Urine Cow Pill please”
Would you like your Chicken Casserole with powder, with with or just plain?
Finally a choice of dishes! ‘Yes, I’ll take some Fried Dumplings with a side of Taipei Restaurants’
It sounds impressive, official and confusing all at the same time
Mmmm, Cheese Lobster flavor. Is it really a ‘Classic’ Great Taste? I just can’t understand why Lay’s doesn’t sell these back home.
Unless of course they want your camera, your bottled water or anything else they want to grab off of you.
So noted….
Firing in the second fireproof area is OK though…
Undertaking external accommodation was exactly what I was needing at the time.
Beware of Monkeys. It’s the only rule. Got it.
I’m sorry, what kind of cold drinks did you say you had?!?
Nothing like some Cornflex in the morning with a side of Mussle Curd Fruits
