Most of you are probably familiar with the concept of Chinglish. For those of you who aren't; Signs, billboards, labels, T-shirts, with english text that are designed by a non-english speakers often produces hilarious results. China probably has the highest proportion of it around and hence where the name comes from, Chinese + English = Chinglish. The following is my own foray into bringing to light more Chinglish

This came from the label on a briefcase I just bought. Transcribed it reads:

---

" simple of beautiful
Art produces ugly things
which frequently
become more beautiful with time.
Fashion, on the other hand,
produces beautiful
things which
always become ugly with time.
IF YOU ARE NOT IN
FASHION, YOU ARE NOBODY.
It is a new fancy rather than
taste which produces
so many new fashions.
Beauty of style
and harmony and grace
and good rhythm
depend on simplicity."

Hmmm words of wisdom from the suitcase label.
I have my theories on how this kind of mind-meld-poetry comes from (mostly the internet), but that can wait till another day.
My favourtie part is the middle: harsh words from a suitcase label... that kind of thing could ruin your day!

till next time,
