Food and beverage signboards and funny English


Can't help but disrupt the food installments with this. A food signboard along famous street GongYi Road 公益路 in Taichung city.

A place for drinking tea. It's healthy, convenient, and errrmmmm....spotted it?

Next, the procedure for a 100NT (3USD) haircut.

Hope you can make sense out of this...


Hope you can really make sense out of this

We could. It just took us a while because we spent more time chuckling. :D

This is not an April Fool's Joke.

    hahahahah I thought it's happened only in Indonesia. One time, my friend posted the signboards that were translated into English. We couldn't stop chuckling.

    Am glad there's a translation it would have been tedious to have someone interpret everything. :-)

    hahaha... very funny... i find many people "write" the way they "talk" - arranging words that way. I guess it's why it comes out funny...

    Hehe we loved spotting Engrish signs in places like Japan and China :D Even Malaysia and Singapore to some extent, although they are usually not as belly-bursting funny, hehe.

    Haaaaha......

    I think it's supposed to read "Gladful"...and Gladful - if ever there was such a word, then
    it would have been correct :D

    While posting this, I did not know about the recent hoo-ha abt Singaporean english being made fun of by Taiwanese celebrities!

    More to come...more to come...
