Talking about funny translations for dish menus or road signs, China never fails to deliver. When you come to a Chinese restaurant and got shocked by an “English menu” recommending you to order a “Urinate beef ball rice noodles” or “Germany Sexual Harassment”, you will see how far the machine translation could go wrong.

“Welcom Turist, We Spik Inglish”! Be ready to get lost between the “Racist Park” and the “South Grate”. Checkout a huge list of 140 photos (link on my name) for this sort of hilarious translation fails that you could encounter in China and enjoy some good laughter! I had a few joyful days after finding this. 🙂
