Some choice examples of Chinese English

Here's a selection of translated notices, spotted during our week in Beijing:

Dream Beer in Supermarket

No romping

No playing, no loud clamour

No scratching 
(That was in the zoo. I think it meant that visitors shouldn't touch the animals.)

Beijing Patriotic Health Campaign Committee––No smoking

Professional Acne
(Name of a skin care establishment.)

Hospital of Femoral Head Necrosis

We wish you could have a good time!
(That was at the entrance to Jingshan park.)

And of course, the descriptions of food ...

Different kind of snacks

Spicy roast frog

Fish head bubbly cake

Dry pot intestine

Red bean milk shake

Eiskaffee (?!)
