You can’t walk very far in China without coming across a bakery. (Outside the school there are 4 within a 1/2 block radius.) For the most part, the bakeries are delicious and for the sake of my waistline I just keep trying to walk on by. But avoiding buying baked goods doesn’t mean I don’t avoid taking pictures of hilarious chinglish signs I run into!
As I rode the slick new escalators up the side of the mountain in the Xiamen botanical Gardens, I hated myself a little. Why was I here, supporting the destruction and abuse of this gorgeous natural mountain? I mean, is there anything lazier than taking an escalator up a mountain?
You’d think in a country where Instagram was blocked there would be no Instagrammification of places. But then you’d be wrong…very wrong.
