A Canadian in Beijing: Charmed by Chinglish

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

I spent 22 days traveling through China in June. I took many photos of signs and found them to be my favorite photos of my vacation. The one sign that I loved the best but was not quick enough to snap was a sign I saw as we took a coach from Wuhan to board a ship on The Yangtze River. I had hoped we would see another and had the camera on my wrist the rest of the trip in preparation but never saw it.
There was a drawing of a person yawning with little "z" symbols floating around the head and the sign read, "PLEASE NO DRIVING TIREDLY". If anyone has a photo of that sign and would not mind forwarding to me, I would much appreciate a copy for my scrapbook.
Thank you
