I have had the joy of meeting many english speakers in Taiwan. Overall their English is generally excellent, but some things get a bit lost in translation. The results are generally adorable. Here are a few I remember.
"We'll go up the tower when the sun falls down and goes to sleep." = We'll go up the tower at sunset.
"Watch Out Your Head" = watch your head (a sign)
"She was a cucabine." = concubine
"I've been sitting, I need to have some moves." = I need some exercise
"No admission on the raining day."
"I live by the river so I have knowledge of all the fish, but when we go to ocean I loose my power, goes poof." = she doesn't recognize ocean fish
Your post is really good providing good information.. I liked it and enjoyed reading it. Keep sharing such important posts.
