Don’t Look Down at the Bad English Signs in China

This is the train station at Qin Huang Dao. The sign says “Taxi Imports”. No, they are not importing taxis here. Its just a bad translation.They are just saying that this is where you can get a taxi. English is not their first language in China and the important thing is that they are trying to use. They will eventually get there. Meanwhile, if you come across bad English in China, take a photo, laugh if you want to and just move on. Don’t look down on people and countries who are trying to learn something new.
