Go into any cheap shop and the clothes are adorned with English of unknown origin, and unknown meaning.
I've been looking for a while now for a really good Jinglish T-shirt, one that a foreigner here could wear with pride, without looking like they shop in cheap shops, but have mostly come up short.
(Apart from a "Save the Ale" T-shirt. A good pun in a sea of wet fish. I deduce heightened sensitivity towards whale issues)
This lady though, or man, has found a winner.
We all thought Japan was a bit traditional, but not this traditional.
More whales, this time offering itself as a free tie-in (shouldn't the natural world get some royalties for all the advertising we use it for?) to promote the local "bonesetter's office" (osteopath).
And while the next is not strictly Jinglish, there should be a subcategory of Jinglish established just for it, as it is quite funny.
Ooooh. Someone likes raleighing perhaps? Look at that big blue wing thing. And they've stripped out all the back seats and nylon to make it lighter (then put in big white metal poles to make it heavier again). And that exhaust looks like it could disturb a residential area or two.
And look at that badge. That is some badge. Never seen that before. How, uncommon.
And this reminds me of the market. Make sure to know your UBS from your USB if you don't want to look like a twot.
