Hot Dog Man – The Stereotypical American

Oct 25, 2012 by Daniel McBane 3 Comments

American Hot Dog Character Berlin

This mascot outside a fast food restaurant near the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin seems to show what the world really thinks of Americans. Except that he’s thin.

Lingerie on a Goat is a Sure Sign of a Very Lonely Herder

Goat at Lake Karakul Xinjiang

This sexy goat was found at Karakul Lake in Xinjiang Province in the far west of China, just north of the Pakistani border on the Karakorum Highway. We were certain that red strap had some practical function, but none of us had any idea what that might be. Let me rephrase that: we were really […]

Thanks to the Nazis, Swastik Products Will Never Sell in the West

Oct 11, 2012 by Daniel McBane 4 Comments

Swastik Distemper India

Swastik, meaning ‘auspicious’ or ‘lucky’ is a common given name in India and there are countless businesses that carry it. So thanks Nazis, for forever ruining a good word and a cool-looking symbol. Oh, and killing millions of people in a pathetic attempt to conquer the world. But mostly the symbol. Assholes.

Dog AND Bug? My Kind of Restaurant…

Oct 4, 2012 by Daniel McBane 7 Comments

Funny Bad English Restaurant Sign

This bad English sign hangs above a fast food place in Changdong, Seoul in South Korea. The restaurant actually serves hot dogs and burgers and could really benefit from hiring a proofreader with even a slight understanding of the English language; otherwise they will continue to find themselves turning away customers looking for a nice, […]

Chicken Maharaja Mac – Unfortunately There Are Many

Sep 27, 2012 by Daniel McBane 5 Comments

Chicken Maharaja McDonalds India

Sadly, that’s an empty promise—there is not only one. Far from it. There are in fact millions of these being sold all over India and I’m guessing every one of them is equally as disgusting as this one was. At least it helps explain why so many Indians are vegetarians.

Big Mac Set? Never Heard of It. We Do Have a Big Ma Set…

Sep 20, 2012 by Daniel McBane 2 Comments

Ripped Off McDonald's Sign

Are you opening a burger place, but can’t afford a food photographer? Just take a picture of a McDonald’s menu and use a black marker to hide any mentions of Mc or Mac, a red marker to cover the golden arches on the french fry boxes and voilà! Problem solved. Here’s the full sign, found […]

Bad English Sign in Korea

Aug 23, 2012 by Daniel McBane 3 Comments

Bad English Sign Korea

I love Chinken that’s “served to chiken the addictive curry”, don’t you? There’s nothing better than “tasting the chicken and enjoying the happy time.” I found this gourmet restaurant in the Changdong area of northern Seoul in South Korea.

No Rats or Worms? You Just Lost a Customer

Aug 11, 2012 by Daniel McBane 3 Comments

Funny Bad English Sign

It’s nice to know your food won’t contain dog, cat, rat or worm meat, but there are still a lot of animals missing from that list…. This restaurant sign is located in Siem Reap, Cambodia. I didn’t eat there myself, because I was really craving some braised rat at the time.

Welcome!

As the more astute among you may have guessed, my name is Daniel McBane. I've been traveling and working overseas for almost ten years now and have finally decided to document some of the strange, crazy or just plain funny encounters and observations from my travels. I've also added a travel guide section, figuring I should reward my four readers by providing at least something of use. Read more on my about page.
