Chinglish # Whatever

I really need to update my facebook album of fun Chinglish that I've come across here in my lovely city.  Until I do, here's today's bit...and no, it's not very good orange juice. 

Latest Chinglish

September 1st:  (Still having prolems with blogger; I can't go back and change dates until it's fixed, so I will date posts that are out of order until I can).  

After our morning worship time, we went to a western restaurant, Cat's Eye, on the Zhangfa campus (they have a huge neighborhood of restaurants and shops; we just have two streets! Not quite fair...then again, that campus is super close, so we just go over there sometimes...).  I was a bit skeptical at first; Chinese "western" food is usually as not-quite-like-reality as our Chinese food is in the U.S. (hint: heavily modified for American tastes).  But this was really good--most of us got pizza, and it was very close to the pizza at Pizza Hut here.  In fact, so close that we were speculating about whether some employee here used to work at Pizza Hut and learned a few things...

Anyway, I got the chicken and mushroom pizza, which was good.  I took a quick picture of the menu page about pizza, though.  I starts out quite normal, but the last few caused a few double takes.  Chicken, Hawaiian, Veggie...Crispy Intestine of England?  No one wanted to take a risk on that one. Pineapple crab  sounds a bit odd, too, but Chrissi ordered it and I tried a piece.  Not bad; truthfully the crab didn't have a very strong flavor although there was quite a lot of thin strips of it, so it didn't taste that different from any other pizza.  I still preferred the one I got, though.  

Chinese Signs

I think the photos are finally working on the blog!    It's working on my end, anyhow.  So, let me know if you can't see this.

To celebrate, I'm posting one of the signs I saw over the weekend.  You can't beat Chinese signs.

Chinglish!

If you need some entertainment  here in China, there's always Chinglish.  They try so hard...but it does seem that they ought to be able to find somebody who actually speaks Chinese to double-check things.  But no...one of my friends was telling me over the weekend about some friends of theirs, good moral people (who know Him), who own a company that makes decorated caps.  They visited them once, and the grandmother was happily sewing button on that read "F*** You!"  And they had already bought thousands of them...

So, this is my new dish-washing tub.  Happy Beer!
