Financial Cheer

Every time I go to the ATM I get a little cheer.  It brightens my day.  Then I remember that it must be spelled this way because my capital Ms are so badly written that they look like Hs.  But I still smile and silently pronounce my name the way most Indians do when they see it written  ... Annie Hurray.  It has a ring to it.

Label Babel Clarty Lavvy

You probably have to speak Scottish English to understand this one.

Clarte Shower

Clarte, very refreshing.

La Vie - Lavvy

The all too common local pronounciation of this product doesn nothing to enhance its brand image. Nothing like some Lavvy water to help the rehydration process.

A couple of misprints, typos or otherwise idiosyncratic uses of English picked up around HCMC recently.

Veggy's is an expensive imported food shop which we don't use very often but it is nice to be a bit extravagant from time to time.

I saw this in the Toilet of Stella Cafe in town, I had to use the flash to capture it. Odd looks ensued when I left the loo but I think it was worth it.
