Emerica the Beautiful

Posted on 14 January 2012 by David Feng

Emerica, Emerica… Yep, indeed. It’s no longer just America that’s entitled to be “the Beautiful”. The Chinese Shanzhai variant, Emerica, has equal rights for that… I can only hope that the United States doesn’t sue this Shanzhai company — you’ll render … Continue reading →

When You Take the Escalator… with Chinglish on it…

Posted on 8 January 2012 by David Feng

I’m at a loss for words. This sign just outright doesn’t make sense. It — like — ends halfway through where it’s not supposed to end! It’s madness total. When you take the elevator safety… what will happen?… Plus, it’s … Continue reading →

The Orders are Wrong!

Posted on 7 January 2012 by David Feng

To Heilongjiang, an uncivilized window would be one where it’d be dirty, rotten, smashed, and full of obnoxious Chinglish. Either that, or… At times, the Chinglish here can just be amazing. If all you are reduced to doing in the … Continue reading →

Ramping Slowly to the Tune of… Chinglish

Posted on 8 November 2011 by David Feng

To do Chinglish right in a car park, not only do you have to roll up the ramp slowly, but you also have to — ramp slowly. As in — make the ramp thingy a verb… Either that, or it probably means … Continue reading →
