Marlies goes China http://www.tantetoedeloe.nl Working & living in Yulin, Shaanxi province, P.R.China Tue, 16 Aug 2011 22:39:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.3 en Chinglish and other hilarious things http://www.tantetoedeloe.nl/?p=230 http://www.tantetoedeloe.nl/?p=230#comments Mon, 07 May 2007 13:00:53 +0000 Mliesie pictures Chinglish http://www.tantetoedeloe.nl/?p=230 Ever since I arrived in China, I have seen translations that just made tears run down my face. I have wanted to set up this page for a long time, but discovered that one of the other volunteers had already done so. So I decided against it. Up until now…..I just can’t resist sharing some of the funniest translations ever with you or things I walk in to here and there that just leave me flabbergasted. Hopefully we share the same sense of humour, so you will find it as funny as I do. If not,…..too bad!
