Ah, I never included all the hilarious lost-in-translation pictures I took in China in my blogs. But here are some of my favourites from my flickr-account:






The last one is my all-time favourite, taken not in China but in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. Reply to this

Gaylord! LOL!

A client of a company my boyfriend used to work for is called Gaylord. It is actually a real male name. I am not sure in which language. It is not easy to call an office, and remember to say 'may I speak with Gaylord' and not 'may I speak with the gay lord' or worse. Reply to this
