One Fine Day at the Park

Yesterday I visited Lu Xun Park and this greeted me in the washroom.
Now this is the pièce de résistance at the park's entrance which is actually found in all other parks in the city. (Click photo to see larger image)
I just love living in Middle Kingdom.

hahhahaha,shojia, this is funny and I really had a good laugh.
Everything comes with a price even our feces. At least it is standard price regardless of the quantity =P
I am sure you find it hard to enter the park after reading the english translation...is that a direct translation using Babelfish ???? hhehe

after feeling the brunt of 13hours straight of being lost in translation the whole day, it took my a while to get what was wrong here. lol!

mag-explain ba naman ng mag-explain the whole day yesterday...and our phrases of the day were:

"what do you mean?"
"could you repeat that again please?"

Usher, I think Babelfish's translation wouldn't be this GOOD! hahaha

Clare, you really had a long day at work! May kasama ba kayong mga French?

Fancy some man or lady who checked the cubicles and collected sixty cents!

And it doesn't look like such a fun park, what with kites and barbecues and compings binned and feudalistic activities frowned upon and all...

Jill, the one thing that amazes me is how the person doing the translation can be so well-versed in words related to feculence. There's defecate in the washroom, and shit in the park bulletin. Of course, they could be different people but still di ba?

I'm sorry, I focused on the Chinese text just now. That first one's quite sexist pala! What happened to women holding up half the sky? Admin's against uterus maintenance? This in the face of men having the option NOT to use the restrooms in feudal parks pa... hmp.

I like the last sentence hehehe.

natawa ako doon sa feudalistic and superstitious activities. Eto yung original chinese niyan, 禁止一切封建或迷信活動.

oh my they use the word shit. Maybe use something a little more discreet like "defecate"?
