Near where I’m staying in Beijing, they just opened a beautiful new subway entrance near the Dawanglu station. There’s a sign directing people up the steps to “Dawanglu Roan.”
I mean, couldn’t they have spent a few extra bucks to make sure they spelled “road” correctly?
Cheers!

Somewhere I have a pic of a Chinese restaurant with a banner outside saying, “GRANG OPENING”.
Clearly they meant “Grange Opening”!?
Some fancy coffee shop near here meant to call itself “Magnificent Cafe.” But the sign says “Magnificent Cate.”
Not exactly the best example of Engrish I've seen...;)
Cheers!
Well, we're not the same persons if that's what you're trying to get at. I'm not put off by the thread. However, I don't find it amusing. I do like Larry The Cable Guy though :) ..... git er done !!! ;)
Saw a store in a Beijing mall the other day called “Ho’s Fashions.”
