Unfortunate sign placement!
Added 2019-01-29 05:45:15 +0000 UTCI was in Hong Kong quite a few years back in an area that's quite popular at night for walks along the coast, I used to very rarely go to Hong Kong back then as this was before they introduced the border crossing paper and each time I would visit Hong Kong it would result in 5 stamps in my passport, one for leaving Mainland China, two for entering Hong Kong as one was the entry stamp and the other was the stamp saying how many days I was allowed to stay in HK and then of course the exit stamp from HK and the entry stamp back into mainland China... An absolute nightmare and in fact I used up an entire passport by simply going in and out of Hong Kong over a short period of time back when I was involved with my ex-wife... But back to the photo, the place I was in is called Sai Kung Pier and it's not a bad area to hang out, C-milk and myself made a video there a while back and we really liked some of the restaurants there and there's plenty to do in and around the area(Google maps link: https://goo.gl/maps/MWpYsJpjbjp )
Anyway, it's a rather nice place to hang out and have a beer or two in the evening and while searching for a bathroom to make room for another beer I stumbled across the above sign which said "Female Bathroom ... No dogs allowed"... of course in my rather silly and tipsy state I found this hilarious and just had to take the photo which I now present to you years later to prove that although Hong Kong is far more international than over the border in the mainland, they too can make some very funny mistakes using the English language.

2019-01-30 05:22:33 +0000 UTCI'm sure that most travelers have seen their fair share of interesting signs in China, from the ones on the tops of mountains that say 'No Tossing" to ones that say "Disabled people who can't use the escalator, must use the stairs." We could probably fill a book with poorly worded company mission statements too. Some are just inexplicable, like: "We plan to forge a head" and another..."One single glory may be coincidence, but after accumulation 6 such coincidences there must be inevitable result!" I mean WTF???
