I can't think of a subject for an "open assignment" for our Friday Shootout so I just checked some of my old photos and came up with these.... Japanese Engrish Signs.
I posted some of them here from my previous blogs, you can check those out by looking for "japanese signs" under labels.
These are priceless. And a wonderful choice of a no-theme theme. I love it when I see signs like this. Of course, I sometimes wonder if bloggers in Spain and Mexico are doing the same thing with all the Elnglish/Spanish signs we have in America.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this!!! These signs are hilarious and your comments regarding them are hysterical. I think you came up with a brilliant theme and you made me laugh to boot :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job.......
Steady On

Butler and Bagman- I bet Spanish/Mexican are doing the same thing :-) or any Asians :-)
ReplyDeleteReggie Girl- thanks, I always have my camera with me (most of the time my cellphone hahaha) every time we go somewhere to spot these Japanese signs. So I will have more in the future.
Sometimes signs give a little too much information. I could probably do without the toilet paper info. Remonded me of being on an airplane. Thanks for the great post. I always go exploring the rest of your blog when I am here. Gordon
ReplyDeleteOMG - these are too cool! I was cracking up, I made my husband come over and look too.
ReplyDeleteWell done, very well done!
I always love reading weird translations, and I'm sure it is done when going from English to any other language! These are so funny, they had me laughting - Frank you!
ReplyDeleteI love these signs, we get this type of thing also. on the menues here they always want to give me the english ones, but I say no give me Portuguese. Sometimes the translations are just too far off. ex. arugala - here is rucala - the aways translate to rockes - so you can ge a salad of rockets and tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteI was going to make a long comment, but let me sum this up in one word: Priceless.
ReplyDeleteI love open-subject themes. You never know what surprises await.
lol! funny post
ReplyDeleteI love them! It makes English more interesting :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come back tomorrow!

ReplyDeletei don't get the first photo. hehe...
Hehe. I always get very entertained by English translated signs in Japan. Can't remember if WC stands for Wash Closet. I know they use the same abbreviation in Europe eh.
ReplyDeletehahaha! WC is the architectural term for water closet ;-) love love the signs we have in japan no?
ReplyDeleteThese shots are such fun! And how smart of you to have a collection of them.
ReplyDeleteI misread 'burns' - I have blurry vision... you can work out what I saw! And I wondered what, precisely, they thought you would be doing with the tap......
ReplyDeletegordon- thanks for exploring my blog, and I didn't even read the sign I just follow the pictures hehehe
ReplyDeleteJen- thanks for calling your husband to read my blog hahaha
