My Return

So I just came back from Taiwan. My head is still spinning because of all the things I went through in the past seven days. The trip overwhelmed, and it didn’t help that its purpose was to get me to where my late grandfather would have his funeral. It was a sad week. Tiring, too.

I have a bunch of stuff I am trying to post about, but it’s getting late, and I need a good night’s sleep. So, for now, I’m gonna show you some pictures of hilariously bad English.

Here’s a sign on top of a urinal:

When I first read it, I thought it was supposed to be a poem, then I saw the Chinese characters and understood that what it was really trying to say was to “stand close to the urinal”. Which raises this question: Are men so stupid as to forget to pee close to the urinal when there are no signs (actually, nagging women) reminding them to do so?

How about this gem of wisdom above a hand-dryer?

The Chinese characters state that this dryer uses infrared, but I don’t know of anyone who actually gives a damn about such a thing.
