Dear Great Ones,
One of the saddest things that I have heard is a Chinese mandate to improve their English language signs. This will end one of the most fun things about being here. Reading the "English" translations of some of the signs here always provides a light moment. These translations, also called, "Chinglish" has inspired one German to actually publish pictures of several Chinglish signs. His books have sold well and he has been interviewed on TV. Here is a small sampling of what I have found here in Hong Kong. Enjoy and I am sure some of the signs will make you laugh.
Love adios and peng on,
Dirk
