Chinglish is defined as spoken or written English that is influenced by Chinese. In other words, it's the literal translation of Chinese expressions into English.
It is usually a great source of fun and perplexity when you try to understand some of the signs.
For example:
- "Look out" instead of "watch out" which makes you turn your head and look outside instead of being focused and watch your steps
- "North export" instead of "North exit"
- the famous "if you are stolen call the police at once" or "wash after relief" (in the washroom)
- "please want the credit cards from owners in order to protect your rights"

Don't forget your imagination :)
