Lost in Translation

As we wrap up our trip, here is a humorous look at some things that didn't quite translate into our language or culture.

1.  This is a Pencil pouch.  Not exactly an acceptable back-to-school theme.



2.  Apparently, our city has given its name to a line of handbags.  Except for a missing "n".  But, I think 1/3 of US citizens would probably make the same mistake.

3.  Sometimes you gotta go, where everybody knows your name...



4.  According to the menu description (in English) this was supposed to be a banana ice cream pop on a stick.  It was banana, but no stick, just wrapped in cellophane, which made eating a challenge.  



5.  The most popular video game at the arcade we stopped by was "Rambo".  Sly Stallone was also prominently displayed at the wax museum.



6.  The # 2 chain of coffee shops in the South / South Central
