That’s all I got this week. For emergency services, be more precise! Or something.
I know I know, I can do better. What can I say, it was a dimly lit bar and I was partying a bit. I vaguely remember the fine print was funny. Guess we’ll never know.
Its not much, but here’s a random advertisement I saw.
Let’s all go shopping.
On a recent trip to Guangzhou, I came across this sign for Braziliam Waxing.
Relatively minor typo. But then again, if you do want some grooming done down there then wouldn’t you want them to pay attention to details…?
Recently, I went on a short trip to Hong Kong. I was just there for a couple of days, but I did find a few random pictures to share.
Like Taiwan, Hong Kong is supposed to be more modern and developed than mainland China. Yet if you seek it out, there are misspellings to discover…
And an important sticker
Looks appetizing
Dessevt spelled wrong. I’m trying here, it’s HK!
Finally, that’s not funny that’s cool. Power to the People!!
Ring in the new year with poetic bad translations…
Happy 2015
Happy Boxing Day to all!
Here’s a holiday-themed pen with a stocking that inexplicably says:
“Unisex shoe. This is one of my favorite shoe”
China seems to be cleaning itself up, and good Chinglish is hard to come by.
Here are some minor mistakes I’ve found, not that funny though, just rejects I didn’t share before:
I’ll stay on the search for more!
For this week’s post, we have a typical poetic sign at a park about cherishing sensitive life of flowers and grass, and a hat at the mall I wanna buy:
Here’s some more stupid Chinglish, from a stupid walk in a stupid mistranslated ‘internationalish’ neighborhood:
And oh yeah, a sex shop. This should go over well
Today’s Chinglish comes with a free short lesson.
The character 巴 “ba” is often used in phonetic translations. It can stand for “bar” (酒吧 jiuba – alcohol bar) as well as “bus” (巴士 bashi – bus, simply phonetically)
So you see, honest mistake here.
Maybe next week some more… or maybe not…
Welcoming you to visit ever more…. just push…….
After a trip to the local hospital (everything is all healthy, don’t worry), please note:
Yummy fleshy menu, unlike the unattached kind…!!!!!!
Oooookay, random Hitler shirt in HK subway. That’s appropriate
I would never retrograde
I’m always careful when I slip. –From Taiwan I’m told!
Much better than that street of large merchandise
Thanks again from MartaLivesInChina!
