Lost in translation

posted by tristan @ 11/02/2009 04:23:00 PM  

I chanced upon a funny picture taken in Shanghai and kind of spark the idea of writing this entry. Sometimes you just couldn't help but to smile to yourself when you see some funny translation in foreign land. By the way, you smile because you don't want to be seen rude. So keep the laughter to yourself even if it caused internal injuries. I've managed to dig out additional 2 photos that I've chanced upon during my business trip to Japan last December. Oh god, its THAT bad.

Now, this is bad! I didn't know you can get your dishes done by just running.
(Actual Fact: They are trying to ask you to wash your leftover under the running tap before dropping the dishes into the basin for further cleaning)

I think you can catch this somehow.
(Actual Fact: They are asking you not to cook anything in the hot water dispenser)
