Engrish Post 2.2
If you aren't sure "begerry" is supposed to be "bakery." Not that I asked but I just know Thai Engrish well enough by now. Stop by this place for an apple joice or two.
"Please don't make the noisy" - is this a sexual reference? - that from Kristen. This from our hotel in Laos.
For some reason some of the best examples I've seen are beauty related. Unfortunately I only have one picture. A beauty shop that we have here in town is "Porn Beauty." It's too bad but the word in Thai means "blessing" or "happiness" but for some reason they chose to romanize it p-o-r-n. Additionally, while in Laos I saw a "Beauty Salorn" and a "Beauty Saloon." Wonder what it was like in there? "Assy Nail" is one that I see fairly regularly and I just love it. I had to get a picture of it.

Very nice. I'll always admire your assy nails
Porn Beauty...my favorite kind.
...of course, by 'porn', I mean 'happiness'.
Also, did you photoshop those cars in the last picture over top of the donkeys and bike taxis? Good work, man, you can hardly tell!
I thought you got assy nail by scratching your hind end too much. That's right, your hind end.
John, I am one of Kristen's old BYU roommates. I found your blog through hers. I love the Engrish!! I visited Brazil awhile back and saw some funny signs/places. There was a hotel called La Ghetto...and a chain of pharmacies called Farto. Hahahahaha!!! I hope everything is going well for you guys! Feel free to post more Engrish anytime. :-)
