Lost in Translation

I have had this post sitting around for awhile because I know as soon as I post it I will find the most hilarious addition, but time is awastin'.

I don't speak a lot of Korean. I only have a few useful phrases that I am able to use, so I do give those Koreans who speak broken English lots of credit. Howeva, there are many opportunities for laughter when a translation doesn't go quite right.

Signs like this one at the park:

Or items like this coffee machine downtown: Not a coffee drinker? How about some sweat? Mmmm, refreshing!


We bought this potty seat at Emart for Josh. It's a Winnie the Pooh theme. As you can see, it's a product from their "Baby Pooh" line...
