Let’s Go Kick Some Hunny Buns – A Little Engrish

Just thought I’d summarize our China trip with a few photos of things lost in translation and a peek into the people watching that entertained us for most of the trip  :)

ENGRISH

Apparently noon is at eleven o’clock in China

Can’t even guess what this is supposed to be

And this is the "English Menu” that we are supposed to be able to order from

Quick once-overs by an actual english speaking persons didn’t appear to be too common for signage

TRANSPORTATION

This was our bus that was 1.5hrs long on the way out of Beijing… they had to stand the whole way!  I guess that’s partly why it’s so cheap :)

Our trip definitely confirmed my stereotype that a lot of Chinese ride bikes

                                      Hey, let’s get a taxi home….                                                hunh, none of those stopped, it’s ok, we’ll just get the next one that comes by

                              Round two (or was it three, or four?)                                                                              That tuk-tuk is starting to look inviting


     Ok, they’re stopped at a light, one of them will definitely stop for us                                                             and there they all go…..

Police check-point in Gubeikou

PEOPLE WATCHING

Making their military power known next to Tiananmen Square

I just about died when I saw this lady… and it looks like we might have an apprentice videographer as well

The poses the parents had their daughters do were quite humorous

Wouldn’t be asia without the sun umbrellas

The umbrellas even come in hat form.. for the young and old

And where would we be without princess crowns

I don’t even know what this is supposed to be

Gotta love the cheap plastic sun/debris visor for the bike riders

Let the bellies begin!!!!!

This doesn’t even need a caption

We’ve got the random dance groups that get together in the middle of parks and break out to their favorite songs… and the randoms that join in

After seeing this about 20 times, Paul officially declared this as the “dead baby hold”

Yeah…. needless to say I never got used to seeing this

SNACKS

Yummy, yummy lemonade… and it’s Minute Maid… why don’t they make the same kind in the US, it’s so much better than ours!

Our favorite snack by far… green apple gummies

Grass Frozen Yogurt with Mango… Mmmmmm

Biscuits with chocolate & vanilla filling… Paul was loving these

Bland cracker/biscuit things… exactly the kind of stuff I love :)
