Chenglish

One of my favorite things to do while I am meandering around the streets is to look for hilarious English on signs and clothing. Like the 80 year old 4 foot nothing lady with a beat up old rocker shirt that said "Crazy, Seyx, Cool." The best part of the Chenglish (hey, a Chinese guy called it that so it is not as derogatory as it sounds) is it is always spelled weird or mixed up. And the people wearing it never fit what it says. Most Chinese dont even know that the letter 'a' is 'a' and is pronounced 'Ah'. It is as foreign to them as a Chinese street sign is to me. Which makes it all the funnier. Here is a sign I saw last week. Is it just me, or does this make no sense????!!!
