Anywhere you go in South Korea, you are bound to see funny signs! Whether English grammatical errors, or just a funny sense of humor....signs in Korea are always worth a good chuckle....

Here are some I've witnessed, but feel free to post some of your own. We have to share this laugh with the world!

I didn't take this picture, but yes, they are advertising what you think they are...

This was the Women's Room sign in a subway stop in Busan...
The last picture is a woman squatting. Traditional Korean bathrooms (kinda like a urinal in the ground) are still around, especially in the subways. You'll have to use one eventually...

Yeah, as long as it's cute, pink, or fuzzy, Koreans will love it.
