Plain Chinglish offers an insightful look at misuses of the English language in Chinese street signs, products, and advertising. Menu translations such as "Chicken scratched in front of a peice of noodles," safety notices such as "Prohibition against door," and public education signs such as "Labor glorious, Lazy shamefull" will make readers laugh out loud. A long-standing favorite of English speaking tourists and visitors, you can enjoy 120+ brand-new examples of this unique cultural heritage from the comfort of your own home.
