Student T-Shirt Contest
Kris, Jim and I decided to have a Chinglish T-Shirt contest. A lot of their signs and clothing have misspelled, miss-printed and completely unrecognizable words. So we decided to have a contest for our Freshman English Majors. To enter they had to have a T-Shirt that had Chinglish on it. Best/worse Chinglish won!
Attendance was really low but it was probably too close to finals and unknown to us we had to compete with a Zhou Enlai film the students were encouraged to watch. (How many US students would give up their Sunday evening to watch a historical movie- these students are so dedicated) But enough showed up that we were able to have a winner and give away our T-Shirts we had brought from the US. The winner’s shirt is pictured above…..Can you figure it out?
