No Need for TV


We have no TV. We rely on the computer for talking to family and for entertainment. When that gets boring there is one activity that is sure to please. It happens all over China and never seems to get old. Just walk outside and begin to read. T-shirts are popular especially if they have English on them, and the billboards often have chinese and English titles. The t-shirts often just have grouped letters that say absolutely nothing or some words that are words that do not belong together. Other times it is obvious they are copying english words and don't get the letters right. Here is a list of some doozers:
T-shirts: (on middle aged woman walking with husband) Keep pumpin' Good Lovin'
              (") F__ __ K School
              Some days it's not worth chewing through the restraints (Rochelle's personal favorite)
              I Love Ou, baby
              Keep Play
              Yellow is the new black
               I only sleep with the best
Sign on Dirk's Office Door (this is an English School): PHYSICAI EDUCATION ( I naturally fixed the "I" to make an "L"! Not sure why no one cared enough to fix it before I came along. It's an old sign!
Newspaper head-line: Gome Shares hit as battle for control hots up
Store Billboards: Sportful Garden Restaurant
                           Gamen On
                           Funful Kindergarten
Pamphlet advertising our building complex: "Skycraping (sic) Achievement Above Ascendency"
Sign: No illegal parking vehicles will be prosecuted without advance notice.
The fun just never ends. See t-shirt at bottom of page. -Rochelle
