Signs

No trip overseas is complete without pictures of mis-translations.  Some of these are barely off-the-mark, and some make no sense, but these all made us laugh.

Perhaps a (bad) translation of sports drinks? It's a popular brand here (this is just outside Nick's office):


Having trouble connecting to others?  Try finding some happy here:


 No diet coke to be found here.  No taste, apparently, either:

 Not entirely sure what is being sold here...

Sounds like a raunchy singles bar, but it's really a badly-named men's clothing store:

 Ouch - someone at this shool needed a proofreader before posting this outside the office:

Looked like an interesting opportunity...but it's apparently not open to people who only speak English...

Perhaps my favorite sign so far, at the entrance to Elisabeth's school:

And a lovely wine special tonight at a fine downtown restaurant...(the 49,500 won is about $45 US)
