Chinglish Key Pouch - The Male Version

Ha! Following my last post on the Chinglish Key Pouch below, Elyn sent me this even funnier version. This is supposedly to be the men's version?

Loosely translated:

Highest order:

Read wife's book

Listen to wife

Be wife's warrior

Now, thats some sound advice any Shanghai men would give. Right?

Chinglish Key Pouch

A friend of mine actually have this key pouch :D

Chicken Feet..Literally

Westerners usually cringe when they see this dish served on the dining table.

Why is chicken feet a popular dish especially amongst ladies? Let me unravel this mystery that many westerners wondered.

The answer lies in the fact that chicken feet are known to be rich in collagen and good for the skin.

Ah..the price to pay for beauty.

And no, I cant tell you how it taste like as I have not tried it before. Maybe it taste like errr....chicken.

 

Weather Report

This is becoming increasingly rare in a Tier 1 city in China. Everything seems to be LEDed and computerised now.

Toy Story

Haha. The Chinese word on the monkey's shirt says: "I am afraid of my wife"

One Dollar Coffee

In case you are wondering.No. It doesn't cost one dollar and it doesn't taste like Starbucks too.

Shanghai Mobile Snapshots : Subway Meeting

How many people does it take to change a poster in Shanghai ?

Ans: Six including someone to supervise.

It was interesting to see a mini committee debating at the top of their voices before deciding on the best way to put up poster. Meeting table included. 

 

Shanghai Mobile Snapshots : Rainy Days Sale

I am always amazed by the entrepreneurial thinking of the some Shanghai residents, especially on a rainy day. 

Whenever it rains heavily, you can see them quickly set up makeshift stores in metro stations selling umbrellas and raincoats.

As soon as the rain stops, they disappear.
