I first saw this book at the English bookstore in Beijing after 3 weeks encountering many signs just as badly - if not more - mangled than the examples here. In fact, what makes this book even funnier is that we sometimes cannot reverse the translation to get the original Chinese version of the warning.

In short. If you have traveled anywhere in another country, you will enjoy this book. The Chinese get picked on for this, but Japan is just as bad (well 10 years ago), and I'm sure some of the former Soviet Union ***stan's have the same examples.
