A friend went to Beijing recently and was given this brochure by the Hotel.
It is precious.
She is keeping it and reading it whenever she feels depressed.
Obviously, it has been transliterated directly, word for word from Mandarin to English


Getting There:
Our representative will make you wait at the airport. The bus to the
hotel runs along the lake shore. Soon you will feel pleasure in
passing water. You will know that you are getting near the hotel,
because you will go round the bend. The manager will await you in
the entrance hall. He always tries to have intercourse with all new
guests.

The hotel:
This is a family hotel, so children are very welcome. We of course
are always pleased to accept adultery. Highly skilled nurses are
available in the evenings to put down your children. Guests are
invited to conjugate in the bar and expose themselves to others. But
please note that ladies are not allowed to have babies in the bar.
We organize social games, so no guest is ever left alone to play
with them self.

The Restaurant:
Our menus have been carefully chosen to be ord inary and unexciting.
At dinner, our quartet will circulate from table to table, and
fiddle with you.

Your Room:
Every room has excellent facilities for your private parts. In
winter, every room is on heat. Each room has a balcony offering
views of outstanding obscenity! . You will not be disturbed by
traffic noise, since the road between the hotel and the lake is used
only by pederasts.

Bed
Your bed has been made in accordance with local tradition. If you
have any other ideas please ring for the chambermaid. Please take
advantage of her. She will be very pleased to squash your shirts,
blouses and underwear. If asked, she will also squeeze your
trousers.

Above all:
When you leave us at the end of your holiday, you will have no hope.
You will struggle to forget it."

It came from an email circular - however it quite possibly is true as even German does not translate exactly into English and so there are many misunderstandings. Chinese is a very different language and direct translation is very different as you would find out if you had any emails from a chinese firm or read any instruction books translated from Chinese.

I would if I could - but it just returns me to my Outlook page. Same in other browsers as well!

This is from Trey Ratcliff's site "Stuck In Customs", sorry about the link not working.

What is it like to wear Google Glass in China?

My recent trip to China was my fifth visit, and the pollution in Beijing gets worse and worse every time. This makes shooting things far away very difficult. While I was there, I was most interested in the reactions of people to Google Glass in China. People’s reactions in China were totally different. Now, of course this is all anecdotal, so you can hardly figure out a cultural trend-line from my observations, but it is interesting nonetheless. Visit my blog to read the full story and see photos of Google Glass in Dystopian China.

I have also been to China and Beijing. If you're serious about visiting and have questions I will be happy to answer.

Never been there, but have had to read installation and/or assembly instructions many times and I know exactly what you are talking about, by the time you're done you want to pull your hair out.
