Funny Chinglish I
Touring the Shanghai region in China, I came across a few signs which seemed to be literal translations from Mandarin... and the results were hilarious. Words such as "civilisation" and "civilised" were used a lot in strange ways... I don't know any Chinese but I have seen similiar results when quotations or signs are translated into English from Indian languages by ... uh... not so efficient translators.
These three signs are from Tiger Hill, Suzhou where you come across the Chinese "leaning tower". These were not so funny as compared to those I came across in Shanghai metro and other places.
