In previous posts, I have mentioned some ridiculous and hilarious English translations from all around Asia.  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?  Get with the program, Asia!!!!).

I am going to keep writing to a minimum in this post because I don’t want to take away from the awesomeness of the pictures.  Enjoy!

Note:  These pictures are arranged chronologically, with the first picture taken at the beginning of our trip and the last picture being the latest.

This picture was taken at a park where they apparently hired the Wicked Witch of the West to translate for them.

Damn, I had my danger all ready.

Dear Hiker. Oops, you’re gonna have to walk the 6 miles back to where you started.  Sorry.  Love, the Great Wall.

Sprinkled soup… crab in soup… omelette… what??

The Japanese use a very accurate metric system.  It’s called “Terrible”.

“Axe murderers, please find business elsewhere.”

“It puts the lotion in the basket….”

I hate to say it, but the Koreans might be on to something here.  I am going to go back to the states and start calling tampons “crampons” and it will spread like wildfire.

You would think they could have had a 5 year old proofread this sign.
