    Chinglish of the Day

    DateTuesday, August 3, 2010 at 3:57AM

    There are plenty of interesting English translations in China. I won't criticize anyone's translations, especially as I spend hours each day trying to do my own, but I do think you'll find some of them humorous. I'm not sure that today's is really that bad of a translation, but it is interesting. I saw it on a restaurant sign as we were riding the bus back to Beijing after visiting the great wall (and it is great). 

    COD: Donkey meat Dongquan Reservoir Fish

    Mmmmm. Too bad we couldn't stop, don't you think?
