Yes, we all know that direct translations often don't work. At best they are funny, at worst unintelligible. At a hotel in Suzhou last year, on the back of the door, there were English evacuation procedures in case of fire. The trouble was, after reading it, I was none the wiser and would not have had a clue what to do or where to go!
So this week I am dedicating my blog to funny / interesting signs and labels and I am sure I will add to this as I see more.
Have a laugh or two!
