Translations that Tickle

For sure, I was entertained by the numerous ingenious translations found throughout the tour - in hotels, parks, public toilets, tourist spots etc.


Thus, a simple sign that reads in Chinese: "Beware: Slippery Floor!" takes on all kinds of interpretation. Since one could slip and fall on slippery floor - might as well "careful slip", right? Otherwise one should "carefully slide" and "be careful of landslide", should you slip.

The Chinese don't just remind you, but they do it warmly
