Have you seen this advertisement by language school named Berlitz? Apparently, with their help, learning Chinese becomes more than easy! Look at the poster below. This ten-second course for example, already gave you enough knowledge to read the Chinese street signs. Subtlety is great, and it sure conveys the message. Another example can be found inside this article. Not so good place to get lost in the night is Tokyo. At the first glance, you can’t even read the neon signs. Or can you? If you like these kind of illusions, be sure to check Chinese Food Festival optical illusion.

Come on! That’s not Chinese
is that actually real chinese?
of course not
Oh, that’s really clever- I didn’t even realize at first that it’s all in English- my favorite is MAD DOG TAVERN, it really looks like Chinese (or other Asian language, because I don’t know the difference between any of them).
wow…look on the lower picture and there on the left side…it says:
“save more engergy”
pretty funny
that’s cool. Not chinese, but cool.
it’s really easy to spot- heh, only if ur chinese, the differnce between asian characters is easy too ^^ but lol that’s apeking from an asian point of view :P
I’m pretty sure that font is called ‘FungFoo’. It’s also the font used in the logo of the band ‘Delirious?’. Check it out!
there was even a sex shop
Look on the 1st foto on the lower left hand side. It says…
Sad Elephants’ Xylophone
Pretty cool!
My brother wants to know if that says “sex” in the back of the first picture.
hehe I love it! So easy to read.
didnt care for this one as much as i haved liked others but is a trick to the eye at first glance.
Good, but they spelled “hotel” wrong.
Just looks like someone has messed with the fonts in photoshop no illusions there.Good idea though.
sex shop in the back
save more energy on the tokyo one
That is so cool
I really respected and enjoyed your site until today.
How can you possibly think promoting Twitter is a good idea?
Twitter is the gayest thing ever invented.
It was started by nerds with no life who have no friends to listen to there boring thoughts, and now other no life loners have jumped on the bandwagon because all of sudden they think they have a million friends.
Seriously man, think about what you are doing to your reputation.
looks more like indian or thai …it totaly does’nt look like chinese!
