Lost in translation...

For those who don't know, Japan is notorious for misspelling or creating grammatically incorrect phrases in English. Some have nicknamed it "Engrish" (Google it for more laughs). I thought I'd share some of the Engrish signs I've come across with, while in Japan. Hopefully they'll make you chuckle as much as they made me.

Precious instrument spray


This apartment block was so up town they left the 'i' downtown.


A perfectly suitable name for a glasses store...


This menu...


Nature! Country! Taste! Flavour!


It's probably private property, not too sure though..


This one wasn't a sign but a store display dedicated to showing how these pants accentuated your behind.


...or it may run away!


Another random store display.. Just plain creepy.


The obvious choice for a store name.


And these guys went with this name..


This place has their dress code in order.


So pretty much your ugly if you're not standing in this black box.


A pouch for your porch?


Doesn't everyone want to buy their clothes from a fat shop?
