Chingrish

One of the (somewhat) endearing features of visiting Taiwan (and China) is reading the local Chingrish (Chinese text literally translated into English). Numerous examples abound in night markets, where t-shirts and other items of clothing are often emblazoned with total gibberish. Makes an entertaining read, but not the sort of thing to impress your friends back home.

An outlet for Taiwan's state run lottery. I guess if you win, you get a 'lotter' cash (cue groans).
A packet of sweet buns at a local supermarket.
