I was very surprised to see this picture here ! He friend of mine took it a while ago in Beijing and posted it on facebook "Save Chinglish" group.

I would never have guessed this picture would go to MITBBS, and then to foolsmountain and finally here... He posted a comment on the blog foolsmoutain (Samfu)

Unbelievable? Not at all! There are more then enought examples around China of translations that would have been correct if they just asked someone who speaks this language, but more then often the just look up some word in the dictionary. And as Chinese is a very illustrative language the chance to get it wrong is nearly 100% ;)
