Signs

Any time you visit another country, you're bound to see some signs that make you laugh.  Either the grammar is different or wrong, or they just express things differently.  In Asia, at least in Japan and China, there are frequently misspelled words or phrases that just flat out don't make sense!  Sometimes, quite by accident, they are made funnier by the context as the restaurant sign many of you saw on Facebook was!  Here it is again for those who missed it:

Of all the places to mess up "Bar," it couldn't be funnier than at Coconut!

This sign on the subway is funny mostly because of cultural diferences:

Here's a sign that I took an illicit picture of:

It's a little hard to see through the glass.  It says, "Decline with thanks: Sloppily dressed, cameras (unapproved), Beverage"

This is one of my favorites (from our local grocery store):

Note that this is an eNergency exit.

This next sign is typical and yet not typical of China.  Things can be in a complete state of disrepair for a long time with no sign.  At least this time we know when the sign was posted.  (And can deduce that the jacuzzi is not, in fact, being repaired.)

Finally, a sign from another local imported grocery store that always makes me laugh!
