Recently I experimented with the local Taiwanese wines in the shop on the corner. My reward? I found the WORST WINE IN THE WORLD. I have tasted many many red wines, and this was absolutely undrinkable. It probably was the...believe or not...maple syrup that was added. But certainly the English on the bottle was priceless.
Love of Country
Love with Maple
When We are together
We enjoy life with wine Sharing the wonderful moments
that go an and an, Fry it at once.
Perhaps the only good use is indeed to fry it at once. It was impossible to drink.
This is hilarious. "A maple bouquet" is beyond even the lingo of the wine tasting snobs. This one really should be shared on engrish.com.
I lived in Taipei after college back in 1985 in the usual study-Chinese-and-teach-English mode. Your blog gives a great rush of nostalgia. Some of your photos are superb as well. Keep it going!

Thanks for the comments. I used to be excited about posting to engrish.com, until I realized that I LIVED in engrish.com, and the constant confusion and misspellings had lost their titillating nature for me. :) Oh well!
