Tuesday, March 1, 2011 at 11:21AM Jennie G, of Not Just Kimchi, sent me another picture from Seoul, where the coffee culture is growing by leaps and bounds. I suppose you could say that coffee is making a big splash in the country, at least at this café.

Wednesday, August 25, 2010 at 12:16PM Two more interesting translations. I know some people who would like to have "infiniti" hair (I think).
Tuesday, August 17, 2010 at 7:17AM There were a couple of interesting signs at the breakfast buffet the other day:
A better translation would probably be "crispy sausages". . . .
I couldn't figure out why they would translate the left one as "mushroom rape" until I got home and looked up the characters. The one on the left is referring to rapeseed, the brassica plant similar to collard greens. It was fried mushrooms and greens. I still haven't figured out the one on the right. . . .

Monday, August 9, 2010 at 3:23AM Chinglish T-Shirt Philosophy:
"Anyone Who Doesn't Believe In Miracles Is Not A Realist. The greatest victory had been to be able to live with myself, to acsent [sic] my shortcomings and those of others."
I agree.
Tuesday, 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).
