Monks on their cellphones and gravestones with umbrellas over them are just the start of quirky Asian life when you are living abroad in places like Taipei City.
After traveling to countries like Thailand, Myanmar, and Indonesia, I found that the most entertaining discoveries could be made simply by reading.
Asian signage for tourists is a hilarious combination of bad translation and ridiculous commentary.
Take a look at the top 20 signs that sent me over the edge laughing.
25 Ridiculous Signs You only see in Asia
What is the funniest sign you saw while traveling?
Hahahaa I love it!
Thanks Stef, Torin did good writing this one up! haha
I don’t get about that one is how it can be soap and body lotion…lol
Well one thing about Thailand – they are EXTREMELY flexible in what they use for hand soap…haha
This is absolutely hilarious, thank you very much, this has cheered me up! I have seen the ‘Hippies use side door’ sign before actually, in a small cafe in Pennsylvania, what are the odds!
Hahaha, I guess it seems like hippies are taking over the world! lol XD
Bahaha I love all of these, such a fun idea for a post Ron! It’s always funny looking at the mis translations of phrases into English – I’m assuming the sign which read “no sex” was outside a massage parlour door? Massive lols!
Hahaha it’s pretty crazy what you can find overseas regarding “translating” the English language….and yes, “no sex” was outside of a massage parlor haha
These are hilarious… and blunt! They really spell it out for ya, don’t they?!
Hahaha they sure do! 😉
Haha, these are so great! I think my favorite has to be the long list of things not to flush, lol. Signs like this are always the best–we found a lot of funny ones in Japan!
hahaha that is a really good one – be sure not to flush your sweater, watch, and wallet with your ex! 😉
Toilets signs in Asia always crack me up, they’re really funny!!!! Japan toilet signs were like nuclear science!
I’m a little afraid to ask exactly what was nuclear about them… O.o lol
So funny! I always love these kinds of articles as they make me laugh so much! But actually I’ve seen a similar sign with the toilet just 2 weeks ago on the Polish-Ukrainian border, it was showing how the toilet is used in Europe…
Hahaha It’s always a good idea to know how to use the toilet in a foreign country. I remember when I first got to Asia and found out I had to use the hose…yikes, what a wake up call! hahaha
Awesome collection – it made my day so far (and it’s only 7.00 am in the morning haha) … I love the “same same but different” saying they use in Thailand (at least, that’s where I found it) and have been using it ever since I was there, which is by now at least about 8-9 years ago I think!
Hahaha, yeah the saying is pretty popular over there. One that I’ve brought back with me, from Australians actually, is no worries! Very addicting thing to say especially when you actually don’t worry about something haha
