Korenglish Gems

In the far east, it seems like there are many mistakes made in English due to poor translation of the local language to English or just funny mistakes that no one bothers to correct. Here is a first collection of pictures that I took myself using my (poor quality) camera on my mobile phone. This is just a small collection of the items one can see on a day-to-day basis. I'll post more in the future.

"Mobil Phoning Area" - this picture is on the fast KTX train in Korea. It is used to indicate that this you can talk on the phone in this area, between the train cars.


"Do not lean" - can also be found on the KTX to tell people not to lean over the door. This picture has additional meaning to me...


"You make sure clear..." - can be found in the COEX mall in the central food court. There is a local small Hamburger stand and this is their request that you clear your tray at the end of your lunch. Interesting way to express themselves, don't you think?


"Seefood" - just another gem among many that can be found on restaurants menus.


"The top of pride" - isn't that a nice slogan? :)
