English in Asia: Part two and back with Vengeance

After a few weeks of collecting pictures I'm back with another round of interesting English (and a little Spanish this time!) from countries in Asia!

Sometimes you just have to call it as you see it.
Submitted by Cody D in Japan
 Most of this one is okay. Where it really gets me is in the the pluralized form of dear (What I'm guessing was their attempt at an affectionate term). But for whom... for whom?


Submitted by Dan G. in Vietnam?
 Some times you have to defecate, sometimes you have to attack... sometimes you have to do both, especially to he troops.


Submitted by Jason W. in Japan
 I don't think any commentary is needed on this one.

Submitted by Morgan M. in South Korea
After scruffy took his last bong hit his glazed eyes slowly peered into mine, he winked and tenderly barked, "Legalize."


Submitted by Josh N in Japan
A bit ironic but who doesn't want to have keen eyes for gramor (grammar). This is one of the downsides of using  katakana as a bridge to the glamorous English language.


Submitted by Josh N in Japan
How I've probably been seen in the eyes of some folks... One happy cracker.


Submitted by Josh N in Japan
Maybe she should clean the basket too....


Submitted by Josh N in Japan
Of the many things you can find on a street corner (namely hookers, flyers for call girls (shout out to you Las Vegas), crack cocaine and other assorted vices) maybe you too can find a "very fortunate peacefulness)

If you live in Okinawa I'll bet you can spot the spelling error (for those of you who don't it's Shisa)

USAF is all about the freedom of world peaceful... Only after we take over their planet of course.


Submitted by Josh N in Japan
Yes, lets walk to that town yourself. Way to ditch me bro...

I feel like this should be the title of a new ninja movie. "Coming soon to a theater near you... "The invincibility, Bad Rebel, Secretly Squad!" (insert danger music here!)


Submitted by Josh N in Japan
The boca has been known to be a weapon of mass insanity. (for the non-spanish speaking among you boca = mouth)

You can go on, you can go under but you can't go in.... pet discrimination at its finest.

Submitted by Cody D in Japan
If you can't read the picture is says, "Dia de Los Muertos [day of the dead], TK Sapkid, Skull Beanfest"





Submitted by Josh N in Japan
I met this guy at the gym and he asked if he knew what the English on his shirt meant. He said no so I told him what his shirt says. He replied, "I have no Happy!"  He wears it nearly every day now.


Submitted by Josh N in Japan

English Fails in Asia

Welcome back! This weeks post is all about English fails. Some are funny, some are odd, others are completely incomprehensible. Many of these were submitted by folks roaming the depths of the interwebs (Thank you fellow W.I.G.gers and GIO's). If you have your own picture you would like to submit feel free to do so in the comments section!
