Lost in Translation Part 2

It's become a bit of a hobby of mine to collect pictures of all the strange mistranslations that I find here in Asia. These never fail to amuse me.

Such a beautiful fairytale

I'm always wary of landslides in the shower

Darn, where am I going to store my corpse now?

In Japan, even the signs bow to you

Right now.

A girl is being disappointed

Magical thing!

Somewhere out there, this sign is waiting for my next visit

Make heartily

The ever famous Japanese 'sarad'

I treasure it too

"Time to relax with cute cats."  Well, if you say so.

If only I knew how to make a Christmas

Let's cleaning!

Open falmes are dangerous

Pellows is such a cute word

I think I'll name the milk Steve

Such compact, much amazing

The 'L' gets them every time
