1) a sign in downtown Al-Khobar stating this is a "slow working area", and
2)a HUGE sign infront of a large building under construction that ...mmmm... let's say they thought that the abbreviation for construction was a four-letter word starting with c and ending with t! Yikes!
A close #3 was the sign over a water fountain in a local school - written in English to encourage students to learn the language, it said "Watre Funten"!
There are also some gorgeous, enjoyment flower and polka dot patterned murano wineglass beads inside the wineglass beads part using the Pandora jewelry area. Some specifically evocative types consist of the deep blue wineglass beads, as numerous using the birthstones for dec are blue in color – turquoise, lapis lazuli and blue topaz (obviously!)
My two favorite "lost in translation" examples.

Gotta love the language barriers!
Quite interested in those veggie eggs, being a veggie myself. Presumably they are laid by a vegetarian chicken too.
ReplyDeleteNo chance of catching mad hen disease from vegetarian eggs.

Cheers,
A.S.
