The Japanese love using the English language whenever possible.
In Japan, it is not uncommon to see English writing on everything from Billboards to tee-shirts to toothpaste.
The unfortunate problem is that most of the time the English is way off.
Japanglish is one part mixed up translations+ one part Japanese grammar+one part weird pseudo-English. Spoken or read, Japanglish is sure to bring a smile to your face.
I found a great example of it yesterday when I was walking in park in Tokyo. The Japanglish came in the form of a huge sign alerting pet owners about the rules of the park.On the surface the sign looks informative, but take a closer look...Needless to say, I could hardly hold the camera still enough to take this picture...I was laughing so hard.
That is hilarious!!
