So i Have been in China now for three weeks, and have traveled the across the country. After my experience there is one thing I must share with you. Probably the most beautiful thing in China. No not Tiger Leaping Gorge, or the Karst scenery of Yangshou, but the beauty that is the Chinglish sign.
For those of you that don't have the pleasure of knowing what Chinglish is, this will be a helpful blog. Chinglish is the ridiculous translations that they find for the Chinese signs. These signs litter the country and really is a base for conversations among travellers. often entire conversations are set on the bragging rights of who has seen the best Chinglish sign.
Hopefully the few examples I have provided will help to communicate how great Chinglish is. but i most warn you not to attempt to write Chinglish on your own. Lonely Planet warns that it takes at least 15 years of fluent Chinese use and a 1 week crash course in English to write proper Chinglish.
I am running out of Internet time so I will have to complete the lecture on Chinglish at another time, I will leave you with some examples.
