Entertaining chopsticks
I’m a quite a fan of Engrish.com and its associated blogs, even if I’m personally too lazy to post anything to them.
But I was amused by the instructions on a packet of disposable chopsticks that I was given at a Chinese restaurant the other day, and decided that I might as well share them… From the actual nature of the spelling mistakes, I suspect that they were copied from something else by someone who didn’t know Latin characters – putting c instead of e, for example. Makes for entertaining reading though, especially when you’re waiting on your spring rolls and chicken fried rice…

ROFL! That is simply GLONOUS. I love it.
I hope the dinner was better than the chopstick instructions?

“Now you can pick up anything.” Sure you can.
I also enjoy the Chinese-printed instructions that often come with stuff you have to assemble. Sometimes I just throw them away and work it out myself. Not always funny in that case.
I hope you are doing well.

The food was fine, Susan, and made even nicer by the fact that someone else paid!
Those chopsticks do look a bit dangerous, I’d agree Jena…
Max, I’m not sure what the chopsticks have picked up in the last image, but I’d rather not eat any.
And Ken, I use mine in a completely different way to the one in these instructions. I know I’m doing it wrong, but it works for me.
