the right to discriminate

I know a couple of westerners in Asia right now. One says it’s the land of milk and honey. At least one notorious Randian I know has spent some time in China and thinks it’s the great capitalist hope for the 21st century.
If these signs from Engrish.com are any indication, the right to discriminate is still respected in that part of the world (but the responsibility to communicate is not taken quite as seriously).

Haha, yea I liked that last frame about smells. If you thought a day laborer chewing tobacco on a hot summer day smelled bad you should get a whiff of Betel Nut in Taiwan. Not only does it permanently stain the teeth but it reeks worse than stinky tofu… which smells worse than a wet dog. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betel_nut
And I’ll try to send you some good shots. I should admit though, everything kind of blends in at this point. Although there is some cool signage in Itaewon.
