Lost in Translation?!
During the years, I have collected and read interestingly translated signs in English. Here are a few of my favorites for your reading pleasure:
From a Paris Hotel: "Welcome! Please leave your values at the front desk."
In a Rome laundry: "Ladies, leave your clothes here and spend the afternoon having a good time."
In a Tokyo bar: "Special cocktails for ladies with nuts."
A Zurich hotel: "Because of the impropriety of entertaining guests of the opposite sex in the bedroom , it is suggested that the lobby be used for this purpose."
In an ad for a Hong Kong dentist: "Teeth extracted by the latest Methodists."
A Czech tourist agency: "Take one of our horse-driven city tours -- we guarantee no miscarriages."
A Greek hotel: "Our lift is broken for the day. During this time we regret that you will be unbearable."
