My Return

January 23, 2009

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.

LOL. They have a lot of these “engrish” in Japan too. Not just in the toilets. In the streets, T-Shirts, Store signs, Restaurants, etc.

Grabe! haha

The English translations are hilarious!!! They refer to the toilet as “the pond.” hehe

It can be a little intimidating to try and choose the perfect Marc Jacobs cheap handbags from amongst the multitude of choices of luxury Hermes cheap handbags available on the market today.It is no wonder that so many questions arises concerning real Coach cheap handbags, Coach Carly handbags and Louis Vuitton Damier Azur bags in regards to their appropriate usage. Believe it or not, one of the most discussed questions is on what type of cheap Louis Vuitton Damier Graphite Canvas to buy for a job interview.A key point to understand here is that function comes first, then style, when it comes to attending a job interview or even business power lunch. A Hermes 35cm Birkin cheap handbags that is functional should easily be able to contain important documents such as your cheap Coach Heritage Stripe handbags or replica Coach Satchel reference letters and even your business cards without damaging them. All the while your replica HERMES 35cm Kelly should also demonstrate your unique sense of style. Depending on personal preference, many women do without a Balenciaga Clutch replica handbags all together and carry a briefcase in its stead.Points to remember when choosing an authentic Louis Vuitton 2009 New replica handbags for an important job interview are:1. Pick a functional cheap Dolce Gabbana that has multiple interior pockets that can store your most important items such as pens, mobile phone, business cards and keys. This way you do not have to pour out all the contents of your cheap Versace bags or desperately rummage around your Louis Vuitton Monogram Multicolore wallets replica with your hand to find a particular item. The worse thing to do is look disorganized simply because you are not aware of where everything is in your replica Dolce Gabbana Messenger.2. Your luxury replica Miu Miu Hobo bags should be an adequate size which will allow you to carry your resume without having to fold it when placed inside your cheap Coach Poppy handbags.3. A hand cheap Gucci with some sort of zipper, magnetic appendage or Velcro greatly reduces the chance that the contents of your Coach Biggd bags will accidentally fall out during the course of your interview.4. Make sure to match the color of your Loeve Tote replica to your attire so that you look presentable to the interviewer during your job application.5. You do not want to appear too casual looking when attending an interview so try to avoid cotton or Coach Brooke cheap. The best choice would be a black or brown leather Gucci Clutches cheap.6. It does not matter how trendy your authentic Coach Hobo cheap is, it will not pass a visible test if there are unsightly blotches or stains on the exterior of the Christian Dior Shoulder handbags. Keep it clean!Something to contemplate when searching for a stylish designer evening HERMES 35cm Kelly replica handbags:If you are wondering about this matter, the most excellent place to see the most current and most popular evening cheap Coach Purse bags are from celebrities during large award ceremonies or opening events for movies and business establishments.
