It’s time for a crazy English post!
The Lao She Teahouse in Beijing is a very classy place, but it’s not immune to Chinglish.
This one is so good, right until the end.
The next three were a jackpot of Chinglish in a public restroom near one of the Olympic Venues in Beijing. Guess that special Chinglish taskforce didn’t make it into the toilets.
I can’t blame this one on Chinglish. Maybe it’s Thai-ish? Here’s a burn ointment we bought in Thailand. Misspelling plus a wrong ending — another double whammy.
These funny faced cotton swabs are useful for a living. Maybe I should send these to my out of work relatives in USA. Oh, the difference an article makes.
And these gems were taken at my very own local bus station.
Go ahead. Laugh. It’s okay. I’ve had plenty of people laugh at my crazy Chinese. It’s fair.
So, tell me, which one made you laugh?

The last one made me laugh. What fun.
I loved the “sit to lie” ~ something that happens to me when I roll with laughter! Thanks for the funny side of life in China!

I love all of them… especially the cotton swabs
I looked at a bunch of old posts just the other day. And even though some of them were fun.ny I still walked away with full knowledge that their worst English is better than my best Chinese. sigh* I really wish I had one of those brains for other languages.
BTW, I loved your mispronunciation that led to you complimenting someone’s “excellent butt”– too funny

sit to lie in the bathroom and wish your voyage to have a pleasant trip! So what’s the story with the signs really? They just don’t bother to check to see if it’s right first?
LOL! the “water leakage” one made me smile. Congrats on your recent win!

The sitting on the squatty potty one! Just the thought makes me cringe a little!
They’re all very funny, but the bathroom ones were the funniest. Thank you for sharing these!
I agree with what one commenter already said, their worst English is waaaaay better than my Chinese!

All of them cracked me up. Now to read them to my husband.
“Do not sit to lie.” is good, but they’re all very funny!
