Suddenly remembered when my friend took me to a restaurant called Toilet…. You know I’m usually the first to laugh at awkward names but this is just going way too far….

#crossculture

Sort:  

What would really ironic was that they had no toilet!

if they didn’t have a toilet I’d pee on the floor and say “you asked for it!”

Hahahahahaha well, we have people with tattoos that say "fry rice" they can have a toilet restaurant xD

the name is toilet in mandarin too. This is not a mistranslation lol

Hahahahaha that is even funnier. I saw a video with one in Japan I think that the whole thing was about toilets and poop 🤣 I would visit ir for sure xD

that’s very different. That has a whole theme. It’s meant to be funny and it’s got cute characters and an interesting menu. This was a shop in Chengdu China with no explanation or reason for the name! 😆 so strange

Oh my... but how was the food?

Exactly, how was the food lol. Because I hope it doesn’t taste or give scent like the restaurant name haha

good but not good enough to justify going there

Haha, I can only imagine how it felt being there. I was hoping the food was extraordinary for you to forget the name of the place, lol!

Hilarious, but I want to believe there’s a reason for that.

me too. I wonder if there is some popular joke about this food or some regional play on words going on with the local dialect. They speak funny mandarin in Chengdu

One thing I know is any language we don’t understand always seems funny to us. I bet you gonna find my own native language hilarious lol

Nahhhh I doubt it. I’ve heard many African languages and they mostly sound cool. Only Xhosa and clicking ones were surprising. I really like the sound of Ga and Akan and Hausa which is why I got addicted to some Ghana music. Most Nigerian music I heard is English though I listen to ClassiQ and Morell

Chengdu dialect is funny because it’s basic at the same as standard Mandarin but with a completely different accent that bounces and sounds lazy. What’s your native tongue?

Truly music connects us to different languages and cultures. And for the fact you know about Hausa language originally from my country Nigeria amazes me. My native tongue is Yoruba. And many Nigerians as whole says Yoruba is very easy to understand and which i agreed to. I’ve seen quite numbers Foreigners (we use to call them Oyinbo) that means the whites, that dance and sing along to our Yoruba Afrobeat songs. So yeah, I don’t think my own native tongue would sound lazy as chengdu for the fact is easy to understand lol

should be a very interesting place 😂😂😂
