Through the eyes of a child...

Here's Ethan and James playing a game on the camera after a picnic supper.

Ethan and I have discovered a site dedicated to butchered English. The pictures we've looked through remind me so much of several signs and T-shirts I saw when I was in China in 2002. Some things are just lost in translation! Here are a few of our favorites from www.engrish.com:

My very favorite!

We will be sure to post some of our own when we find them! And I suspect that our own attempts as we learn Malay will produce similar oddities for them to laugh at!
