Chinglish on Notebooks

January 20, 2016

Life in China: A Picture a Day 2016, January 20 -I enjoy reading notebook covers in stores, there are always some that make me chuckle for one reason or another. Some are cute, some funny, some just don’t make sense, and some are just…. Different! Now, please don’t get me wrong, I don’t say this in a derogatory way, I’m sure that I would do MUCH worse translating something into Chinese! It’s just another part of daily life to enjoy here! Many a time, a stressful day can be relieved by a funny little translation, more commonly called “Chinglish”

Attempting to do art... Peanut always wants to help! I bought a book with cute little animal drawings.  I can mostly follow the step by step pictures, but I also translate the notes. But he makes it difficult! I ended up having to make Peanut move. #
