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.

Engrish Post 2.1

Well, after a long hiatus another Engrish brog is here!!

This is the packaging from one of Trea's toys. It's true, you can indeed develop intelligence with the muscil that this toy plays. Listen to muscil as often as you can! What's your favorite type of muscil?

From a menu:

This was taken at the zoo on our October trip. Welcome to the Honnbill Ganden. Take a stroll through the ganden.

This is one fine specimen of Engrish. Seems like some of the best examples come from China where someone just looked things up in a dictionary and pieced them together. This is from a set of a geometric rulers (protractor, angle ruler and ruler). "Needed the paterfamilias accompany, if the children haven't 3 years." I love it!!
