Engrish in China

July 1st, 2012

As you all might know, the english translations of signs in China are horrible, and sometimes hilarious. So here is a compilation of all the Engrish that I have seen during my trip to China (some of them are correct in English, but have mistakes in Japanese):

DAY 3:

As a man of the Nights Watch, it is my duty to protect The Wall from everything that lies north. That is why I was given the mission of going up on top of The Wall.

The Great Wall of China! I architecture marvel, if I do say so myself. To get up there we had to take a cable car up into the mountains.

China (Beijing) Day 2 – Forbidden City

June 30th, 2012

BeijingDay2

So the plan for day 2 was:

  • TianAnMen Square
  • The Forbidden City
  • The Temple of Heaven
  • A visit to a silk factory

A pretty full day. It was rather tiring, but we managed to pull though!

TianAnMen Squire, the biggest square in the world. It is huuuuuuge! I can’t image what goes down when half of china is gathered there. There were lots of tourists nevertheless, so it gave a pretty good understanding of the size.

Lack of posts…

June 25th, 2012

Its been 3 days in to my China trip and im loving every moment!
Sorry for the lack of post, blame it on the Chinese government, who blocked youtube and stuff.

Anyway, what I have decided to do, is just enjoy my trip and once I get to Japan on the 30th, I will post 7 posts, about each of my days in China.

But for now I bid you farewell, and stay tuned!

After spending 14 hours in the plane, I’m in a cozy bed in a hotel in Beijing.
Only to find Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Google, Foursquare (on my phone for some reason, even though the normal website works fine), YouTube and other awesome sites to be completelly blocked… Well i knew about it, but dang yo 🙁

P.S. WordPress is blocked too, but for some reason i can still write blog posts through the iOS app *_*
