Having said that, I'm back with more funny street signs, this time from Beijing, China. Regular readers of my blog know that I have a collection of street signs from the world over. Here are some from the Forbidden City:
"Perilous..." hehe. When hills are described as perilous, you know you're in another universe.
Well, in another country, the unimaginative lot would just say "Danger. Don't climb." You can fault the Chinese for anything, except for lack of imagination.

I didn't know about your "banner hobbie". As I see, Chineses are people very poetic and imaginative. At least more than argentinians.
See you soon!

I beg to disagree. =) The way Mainland Chinese authorities translate Chinese to English is very literal and it makes for some horrendously terrible signs.
Take for instance:
1. Here we have Chinese caked preparing for foreigners.
2. Wonderful srteet. (sp)
3. Get off the bicycle.
4. It forbids entering a room.
5. Please keep off the pet.
See what I mean mate? =)
