Get to the Point

The Chinese language tends to be very straight-forward, even blunt.

Chinglish, or the Chinese translation of English, can be just as straight-forward, and it can be quite amusing. The stripped-down interpretations often carry a strong thread of truth that makes me pause and think.

Check out this sign in the old city of Lijiang, in Yunnan Province. I have to say that I agree.

  1. Two smiles from your two pictures. Can I share the sign? What lovely advice.

  2. I can't tell if I am unknown or not from my posts, but I kind of like that moniker if that's what's showing up. You got some great pics and I love how you capture culture through them. Bravo! Are you ever coming home? We miss you. Shannon
