I love living as an expat in Korea. Everywhere you go, there's something beautiful to feast your eyes on, or delicious to indulge in, or fascinating to learn about. And there are hundreds of funny signs to make you giggle as you walk around and explore the Land of Morning Calm, as Korea is also known.
I want to share some of the funniest, strangest, or even rudest Konglish signs I've seen during my travels in Korea, a place I've called home since 2015, and write about in my blog.

#26 Nothing Like A Bit Of Fun Time With Math! But Never Spare The Rod

Awesome + Waffle does not = a good shop name.

#28 Probably Not A Good Start To The Honeymoon
I assume the owner of this ice cream shop thinks that this is a cute name - a bride of ice cream - but it just sounds creepy in English.

#29 No! Perhaps It's Ok To Smoke Here?
A common problem in Korea when writing English signs is knowing when to use! punctuation. It really changes the meaning of the sign!
