Aw, jeez, I hadn’t seen that one in ages. Laughed till tears were streaming down my cheeks at it, yet again!

I feel I must correct you, though: that’s not Engrish, it’s Chinglish. Engrish is what the Japanese make of English (thus called because of the inability of many Japanese to distinguish l and r); what the Chinese make of English is variously called Chinglish or chaos.


The following are Chinglish pictures I’ve taken while running around China—nowhere near the hilariosity level of the rahoi menu (that’s in a league of its own!), but some of them still pretty okay:






(Note that no. 2 and 3 say the exact same thing in Chinese!)
