Lost in Translation – English Gone Wrong

One of my favorite things about traveling is seeing how English is used, or misused. Apparently I'm not alone. Most of these seem to be from Asian countries, however there are a few from other parts of the world that are just as hilarious. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

I always enjoy these lost-in-translation surprises. Here's an enjoyable one in a related vain: Wong Fook Hing Book Store http://bit.ly/5NZX

My friend gathered a collection of these over 150 when he went on his mission. I gathered a group of ways to say no to salesman. The Japanese make all their coffee mugs say something with strange Engrish. The L's of course become r's so it can make for some hilarious stuff.

Haha, these are awesome! Reminds me of living in Japan! One of my favorite signs there was for a hotel called "Come On My House". Umm, think I'll pass, thanks!
