Chenglish

Chenglish....

So, the Chinese try to use English as much as possible in daily talking, advertisements, clothing, any product that they want to sell because English is cool. There are so many horrible English translations that it tickles me constantly.

1. I bought some cotton balls to use toner on my face. The cotton balls were called tampons! The toner says "instantly vivifies for a supple skin" What in the world is vivifies?

2. There is an office building on the Navy School and it said something something Soffice. SOFFICE!

3. There is a museum on our usual route on the bus called the sexology museum. We have no clue what kind of museum is but it's the sexology museum!!!

4. They use phrases like "happy everyday!"

I will have phrase updates! Keep looking!!!
