Seeing as how I am using all of my available words to wrap up a somewhat overdue book, I thought I'd bring you a little photo essay on one of my perennial favorites, Chinese signage.
As always, click to embiggen...
First up: Police.
For an authoritarian state, China sure has some interesting depictions of police officers...
To protect and to serve?
Apparently, a police supermarket
And at times the public safety messages can be a tad confusing…
"Do not panic and run in wrong way!"
Toilets deserve their own special category…
As do trash cans…
Here are a few interesting housing options…
Then there are things for which I have no explanation.
"Clown Fresh Flowers"?
I might worry about eating here...
"The tongue explodes the chicken cube"
I'm happy they are jolly
Finally, realize that tourism and sight-seeing can be a serious business….
"Don't go barebacked in public places!"
Lisa…every other Wednesday...

Uhh, I hesitate to say this, Lisa, but only momentarily as I can't pass it up: Did you happen to mistakenly mix up the captions on the last two photos? Sorry, but my mind and body are now on Mykonos. :))
ReplyDeleteHahah, yes, I suppose I might have...
