    I agree that a few are humourous... but let's see you go to China and try speaking/writing Chinese without being laughed at. >.>

    Oh and 110 is their 911. >.> Basically, if you have any sense, it says, if you are in trouble, call 110...

    I wouldnt ever go to a country where i cant speak any of it, well i gotta at least know how to say help!!!!!, wheres the U.S. embassy, how much?, name of currency, how to say numbers 1-10,000. Yeah i get their 110 is their 911 its just the way they phrased it. Its just a bit of humor i already said its not ment to be offensive if it is i'll take it off.

    The thing is, they didn't actually go to another country. They placed those signs to HELP visitors. I don't really find them offensive, just a bit rude. But the one I find humourous is the one about dying.

    Yeah, i know that but u said "lets see you go to china and try speaking/writing chinese" I said i wouldnt go to another country where i cant speak any of it and that is all. I know those signs trying to help this is set up for humor nothing else.

    Why are you arguing? They might as well ask a frigging manga translator to do that. You know those are supposedly professional translators that translated those signs, right? If anything, China has a lot of horrible english translators.

    Oh and btw, thank you for your motherblinking corporation! Food in china is expensive if you gotta pay a whole business.

    O.o I'm Asian (Chinese) and speak fluently in both languages. b:victory Not all Asians speak with a funny accent. Only those who arrived after around age 7 have huge accents.

    Ive seen worse mistakes done than that. An example is when Saito Hajime's favorite move was translated as "kotatsu", when the original was called Gatotsu. If you dont know what a kotatsu is, I suggest you look for it in wikipedia and tell me if it looks like something that could be considered a sword technique. The dubbing of Speed Racer also comes to mind, with all the characters talking like Jimmy Stuart in order to make the lip synch work. And who could forget the mother of all bad english and the greatest translation **** up ever seen, Zero Wing and the all famous "All you base are belong to us"?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us

    That said, I think it would be amusing to see how americans would do in China if the signs were not translated at all
