Funny English signs in Iran
Many countries contribute to the diversity of English language. You can come across funny signs or inscriptions in probably every non-English speaking country. I have already posted our collection of funny signs from China. This time signs we have come across during our 3 weeks in Iran.
Please visit THE – very famous historical monument of Shiraz:

After the mosque you can visit the Sout Vakil Bazar nearby:

There are a lot of shops with unique products around the bazar:

In persepolis you have a chance to buy cafee at a shop or drink coffee at cafee:

After the cafee make time to visit the garden which is served for visits not far from the historical site of Persepolis:

Before leaving Shiraz make sure you have bought a pair of good shoos:
One shoo, two shoos
While in Isfahan please visit the sights within the opening hours:
Sign in Isfahan
Isfahan is a great place to taste some ancient authentic Iranian dishes: Stone Bortl and Kebab made of ground Maet.
Interesting dishes they have
Or: Shish kebap miked wiked with. But the favorites of all times is the Metalled Hen!
Fancy some metalled hen? Or maybe rooster?
What would be your favorite dish in Isfahan? Maybe barbrry or browned layer of rice?

Hahahaha, that is a great one! I am always surprised how restaurants cannot find a native speaker to check their menus in exchange for a dinner or two. Especially in places like Prague – no English native speakers at all. ;-)

Haha! So nice, thanks! And the Albanian “sour scream” reminds me so much of the “screamed eggs” that I saw on a breakfast menu in Beijing. Scrambled? And there were also tomatoes “in live oil”. What a difference a missing “o” can make!

Yeah, sometimes just a letter makes a huge difference. I remember menus in Prague have quite a lot of funny “dishes” ;-))) Will make a collection once we are back to Prague.

Yeah, I like this kind of signs in various countries.

You know , it is hard to explain and describe a native name for a food in English , for example spageti is an international word , but not kabab koobideh !

Yes, i understand. I am not mocking. In many countries there are such funny signs in English, e.g. China or Japan.
