Lost in Translation 2
One of those ‘nothing very much happened’ days… slept late, fruit salad for brekky (much whipped cream and semi-sweet chocolate was involved), took AAH to get a pair of jazz dance shoes, then to paint store to choose paint for her room [red! yikes… she’ll see red all the time!] and since there was a pet store next door, ducked in there to buy Polly some ant eggs for her gourmet pleasure [yes, you read that right]. And for our gourmet pleasure – some cake and pastries were picked up at the bakery on the way home. After which coffee/tea were brewed and pastries imbibed until I could no longer procrastinate and had to sit my butt down at the computer to try to finish an assignment I have promised to deliver bright and early Monday morning. Which demands being worked on at the weekend because I spend TOO MUCH DAMN TIME READING BLOGS AND WRITING WEATHER REPORTS during proper working hours.
Bad, bad YT.
JEEZ, HIRE A TRANSLATOR, OK?!
Or – no, on second thought, don’t. ‘Cause these are good:
At a Budapest zoo:
PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS. IF YOU HAVE ANY SUITABLE FOOD, GIVE IT TO THE GUARD ON DUTY.
Doctor’s office, Rome:
SPECIALIST IN WOMEN AND OTHER DISEASES.
Information booklet about using a hotel air conditioner, Japan:
COOLES AND HEATES: IF YOU WANT CONDITION OF WARM AIR IN YOUR ROOM, PLEASE CONTROL YOURSELF.
Tokyo hotel's rules and regulations:
GUESTS ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SMOKE OR DO OTHER DISGUSTING BEHAVIOURS IN BED.
Hotel brochure, Italy:
THIS HOTEL IS RENOWNED FOR ITS PEACE AND SOLITUDE. IN FACT, CROWDS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD FLOCK HERE TO ENJOY ITS SOLITUDE.
Hotel lobby, Bucharest:
THE LIFT IS BEING FIXED FOR THE NEXT DAY. DURING THAT TIME WE REGRET THAT YOU WILL BE UNBEARABLE.
And a YT personal favourite:
Car rental brochure, Tokyo:
WHEN PASSENGER OF FOOT HEAVE IN SIGHT, TOOTLE THE HORN. TRUMPET HIM MELODIOUSLY AT FIRST, BUT IF HE STILL OBSTACLES YOUR PASSAGE THEN TOOTLE HIM WITH VIGOUR.
TODAY’S WEATHER WAS…
A brief respite from too damn freezing cold. Current temps are around 2° C (36.5 F) and when EPI and I went for our little hike around the golf course it actually rained on us. The sun came up at 10.36 and set at 16.43. Getting long! Er. Long-er.
