200

After nearly 3 1/2 years of blogging, this is my 200th post! In honor of this occasion (and because all I want to do right now is blog and I have time) I'm sharing 200 pictures from engrish.com, where people submit funny signs or bad English translations they see in Asia or on Asian products. Let's start with a few of the adorable but ridonculous lunches that Japanese moms make for their children. I just took the captions from the site.
The black keys here are made from konbu seaweed with carrot music notes.







This cat is made of potato salad wrapped in ham with carrot and onion facial features.







The bear is rice with fish sausage limbs and ears, nori (seaweed) eyes, and a ham mouth. (Fish sausage??)







And now on to the Engrish...
