My Favorite Signs from China

The bullet trains are amazing....



MENUS - I believe they put their Chinese characters into a Google translator and then hit "Translate". Here's some of the results:



Muttony sour pickled cabbage with miscellaneous noodles


Stove a nest head shrimp sauce





Lives is addicted to the spare ribs

Lives is addicted to the eel section




The city flavor explodes a belly

Fry to infuse bowel




Let's just call it what it is: the telephone for consulting, complaining and rescuing...




This way to Life




The Optional Supermarket

Our friends told us they once saw a store called "Translation Error". Maybe Google Translator isn't the best solution afterall.



I hate it when this happens





Don't Drink and Drive



1) Rental of walking sticks....for free!

















This is the sign at the beginning of the Great Wall hike. Seriously, could we not get a better sign in English considering this is one of the most visited tourist sites in China?






This was a sign to help tourists cross the pond....



My mom obviously values her precious life....



Me, not so much!

Ha ha ha!! Crazy Chinese people! I would be so confused in China. I like how you categorized your trip into different genres.
