Me Not Foget to Spell-Check Next Time

 

The Viwes Were Wonderful - Haad Yao

Good restaurant, very friendly staff. But why invest in a sign and not have some spell-check it first?  

Heart's in the Right Place

Parents the world over are looking for the solution.  

I want my M Tivi

Is a phonetic spelling of TV *really* needed? We saw this spelling throughout Vietnam. Isn't TV phonetic enough already?  

To All Carnivores - Hoi An

We found this sign at a food stall, whose owners were apparently quite passionate about vegetarianism. Good for them. In Vietnam, they are in short company.We wonder if they spent too much time in the meat section of the market....  

Can you Find Engiand on a Map? - Hoi An

We had multiple tailors try and convince us that this fabric was authentic high quality wool from England. We tried to point out that if the fabric was truly from England, it would probably not say Engiand or Santa Barpara. Puzzled looks.Ironically, the fabric was of pretty decent quality. It was hard to tell if they were trying to deceive us or whether they truly believed this fabric came from England and the Chinese supplier deceived them. It's VIetnam; anything is possible.Read more about tailors in Hoi An.  

Hoi An Department to Manage and Gather Swallow's Nests

Besides a Department of Homeland Security, this is one department that every sovereign body really needs.We didn't have a chance to inquire about membership. Could it really be that there is a special department to manage and gather swallow's nests in Hoi An? It was a large building...must be a lot of swallows.  

Nice Sign

Pronounce phonetically...
