More times than I can count, I have found myself lost and looking for some sign to help get me back on track.

Luckily, signs like these have been put up in Asia to make sure tourist never get lost.

This is a fine mess

I blame it on TV myself.

I am assuming that the same legend written in English is the same one written in all the other legends, but in different characters and languages. Amazing! A signal that manages to be utterly useless in 7 different languages! I wonder if that makes the cut for a Guiness World Record…

…all I can think is that someone was actually paid to put this up…worse, someone was paid even more to think of it…Thanks for the help guys, I’ll make sure to carry my English translation dictionary for stupid signs…

that’s brilliant (as in utterly stupid, but good for laughs.)

It is a warning sign for an irregular pathway. The sign should say “Tourists should avoid this irregular path”. That’s what happens when someone decides to use a Chinese-to-English translator.

I think it’s for Japanese/Korean tourists.
