Can YOU say this in Romanian/Japanese/Chinese/ French or any other language?
What make you think in every country people MUST to know English on the same level as their native language?
They make these “funny” notes, because tourists from America do not speak/read/write language of the countries they visiting.
In BP you can find a lot of posters in Yiddish and if you are not able to read it – it is your loss.
In Paris they translate notes for YOU in broken English and this make you laugh – learn French and read original notes without translation.
If you can, please excuse my English, it is not my first and not my second language.
