Lost in Translation, part three

It's been a while since I have posted in this little series, but I have collected many more photographs to share with you. I'll start with the most recent, which went up today. These are posted outside the door to the garbage chute.

There are more posted in the lobby, which I will put up another day, perhaps tomorrow. For those of you not familiar with this little series, this is a collection of notes that the super of my building likes to put up from time to time. Unfortunately his English translations from his native Spanish are atrocious. My boyfriend says that the Spanish versions he pastes up are mostly well-written, so perhaps he is using an online translator which is giving him these funny results with the English translation. And anyway, he's a terrible super (don't even get me started on it!), so don't feel bad having a chuckle at his expense. More to come...

Lost in Translation, part two

This is posted downstairs in my building, on the door that leads to the laundry room and recycling bin/trash can area. I think it's strange that the super doesn't get anyone to help with the translation, but hey, it's amusing!

(And I don't mean to offend anyone with this! My boyfriend is hispanic as are many of my friends and most of the people I grew up with. I hope nobody takes this the wrong way!)

Fun with Food

I have long been a fan of bizarre product packaging, particularly of food items. I have a small collection of very interesting food wrappers, including "Commando Chips" from the Middle East, which feature some gun-toting folk on the wrapper. I have to unearth those and scan them one of these days! For now I wanted to share some fun finds that a recent shopping trip yielded. I snapped these on my camera phone--not bad I think!

I think this speaks for itself!

My super likes to post these interesting signs all over the building. This one is located above the trash chute on my floor. There are different ones in different places throughout the building. Stay tuned!

(My apologies for the poor photography, let's just say the lighting is less than ideal, and I didn't go to the trouble of pulling out my grey card.)
