Chinglish


When you buy fresh vegetables or fruit at the grocery store, you have to have them weighed. There's a store worker who weighs them on a scale and then prints off a price sticker and puts it on your plastic bag. This sign was above the scale in the fruit section. Let's hope the Chinese makes a little more sense than the English does.

Ha! I loved reading Chinglish when in China, but it is even funnier to go to a chinese restaurant here in the US and read the wrappers on the chopsticks or on the fortune cookies and see that the Chinglish made it here too!

It's nothing compare to this one - http://www.chinglish.com/community/show/A+time+sex+thing

If you understand Chinese more, a more entertaining piece is the top ten list of how Chinese tried to translate KFC's slogan - "We do chicken right."
