English phrases around town number 1
this one is going to be short. there will be many more.
I'm going to start a series of posts recording the funny uses of English I see around me.
Here goes.
I have a small note book. On the front of the notebook it says "Notebook", and in very small print "made of paper"
My milk says: "1A top of the first A grade", and "enjoy the quality" This is the only English information on the package. The nutritional information is all in Korean.
My re-usable coffee mug says "made in Korea", and underneath that "good"
The white bread that I got when I came here was "happy plus toast"
The kindergarten I work at is called "little Ivy academy". The classrooms are named "Yale, Harvard, and Princeton"
and to top it off I will include a photo of an advertisement I saw for a credit card in the metro yesterday. One picture is of the whole add, and the second is of the text. If you can't read it, it says: "Adam said "the glory of the United States is not control, but liberty" and that "her march"...... "the rest is actually illegible in real life.
enjoy, Cassie.
