Chinglish Attack

I saw some pretty funny signs on my trip to Beijing. My friend sent me the two pictures. The first one was posted on the Great Wall; the second speaks for itself.

I have photos of some of others, but that roll isn't developed yet. And not having a scanner available, they just might have to wait until I'm back in the States. However, I can at least tell you about a few of them.

At the Ming Tombs, most of the fences (which surrounded every blade of grass on the premises) had a sign reading "Don't throw rubbish away."

On a warning sign by a strongly angled sidewalk near the train station I read, "The slippery are very crafty."

Over the radiator in the bathroom on the train I saw, "No stlashing!" And at either end of the sleeping compartment was a small sign above the radiators saying, "Do not blot out!"
