I’m going to tell you a thing or two about the crazy occurrences that go on in South Korea during election time. This is a very random topic to be writing about, especially from someone like me who enjoys writing about fashion and cute Asian kids, but hopefully you’ll understand that it’s too ridiculous to […]

These terrible translations are affectionately called “Engrish”, and there is even an entire website devoted to funny translations from Asia. (Why are they always from Asia?
