Signs, Signs
Thursday, April 9th, 2009As the song says, there are signs everywhere in Hong Kong. I can’t actually read most of them, but the neon does make the nights seem festive. Some of the signs do have English translations, but as we’ve often found in our travels, they don’t always make things any clearer.
Here are a few of our favorites from various places on this trip and others:
From a Hong Kong menu – Is it in there or not?: “No, MSG.”
From a Hong Kong description of an organic farm – Um, whatever: “380m above sea level of clean and peace.”
On a Thai menu – I wonder what color the stop lights are: “Curry – Green, Red, or Xellow”
Sign at a beach bar in Phi Phi – I did: “Get Relaxy”
From an Indian billboard – First lesson is Spellcheck 101: “Enroll! Hotal Management School”
On an roadsign in England – Your taxes paid for this: “This sign not in use”
While searching for a place to eat last night, we saw this one (no, we didn’t eat there):
