Breaking the rules

I've seen a few posts with funny pictures from Engrish.com, and I felt the need to contribute. After all, I'm getting this first-hand! So here's an old picture from the Forbidden City in Beijing. The English is perfect, no spelling or grammar errors... but it still cracked me up.

 


Damnit Amanda! Didn't you read the sign??


 


I shall be on the lookout for more hilarity.

It can help you know a little more about china, Hope it can make that up沉鱼is about a women named XI SHI, the fish are engrossed with her beauty even forget to swimming till sink to the bottom of the pond.落燕tell about a women named WANG ZHAO JUN , the wide goose fell off the sky while watching her, cuz it forget to swing the wings too避月for the women named DIAO CHAN, the moon is so shy that hidden in the cloud as she look up at the sky.羞花says a women named YANG YU HUAN, all the flowers closed when she smile at them.Off course, there is long story about these women respectively, it is really funny. jingran

LOL...rough translation might be "no drinking in public!" heheheI saw your post on mommy/daughter yoga and that is sweet! I wish my mom had that book. :( I\'m still a total newbie at this stuff, and I\'m awkward and goofy still, but I tell you, I totally underrated it\'s toughness!!!And hell, I would NEVER laugh at aquafit! That is a workout! Anything in water is 10X harder than without that resistance....so you go girl! :) Plus it\'s soo soft on your body in terms of impact on the joints, etc. Good choice - I\'d be more willing to try myself if I didn\'t have the ol\' bathing suit complex. ;-)Take care girl.
