Signs in China — English is not their first language

When I was in China, I noticed that the Chinese tried very hard to translate signs into English, but were not always successful. I took lots of pictures of signs during my trip. Now posting crazy translations are all in vogue on the internet, including a mention of a sign in Beijing of “Racist Park” that has now been renamed to clean up the city for the Olympics. Hopefully China removed any racists, and not just the signs. Today I saw the latest Chinese bad translationsign being posted which of course I transmit to the world. Pretty dumb actually, and whoever wrote the sign writes much better English than I do Mandarin.
