Yes, actually it is a zen temple in Kyoto and the choice of words was specific tailored to teach a zen principle. Not actually engrish, but certainly seems so.

I don’t think this is from Japan… I mean, next to the translation (rly?) is ‘agora’, which is ‘now’ in portuguese, so this sign can be from Brazil. And, yes, I’m the female version of Einstein: too smart for you to understand how my deductions can change the world.
“agora” is also the ancient Greek word for “marketplace”, so maybe the picture was taken in ancient Greece and sent here via time machine. OR perhaps someone in Japan wanted to point the way to a marketplace, and chose the word “agora”. No, NEVER happen — the person who came out with the Engrish for THAT sign knew the English language WAY too well for something like that to occur, it’s obvious!
Actually, this is most probably from Macau, which is a former autonomous region dependent upon the government of Portugal (i.e. an ex-colony which over the years leading to its formal independence in 1999 gained an increased degree of self-government) and is now still an autonomous region within the PRC. It’d be understandable that either this foto is old, or that they still have quite a few multilingual signs in portuguese over there.
um… first?
.. and here I was expecting to see many comments about Soviet Russia.
The expected and obligatory Soviet Russia comment.

In after Soviet Russia.
Well, at least life is done sodomizing me. Living me should be a breeze by comparison.
Oooh! Now it’s my turn!!!! Bend over, plz k thx!
That’s the best comment I’ve seen all week.
Surprise buttsecks!
Haha, nice title. xD I think it makes the post.
see… I told you
Life is taking over my life.
In Soviet Russia, your life is taking over life!
Wait, that’s in Soviet Russia, my is taking life of the life.
In Soviet Russia life is taking my life?
In Soviet Russia, taking life over your life…..
You killed the joke. @_@
…I don’t think what happened there was my fault. 0.0
yes, totally get it.
dOoOoOooOOoooom
So if life is living me, then am I living the sign?
Then I think life is taking over my sign.
I’m guessing the complete sign says, “Now, there is life within.” or something along that line.
I don’t think this is from Japan… I mean, next to the translation (rly?) is ‘agora’, which is ‘now’ in portuguese, so this sign can be from Brazil. And, yes, I’m the female version of Einstein: too smart for you to understand how my deductions can change the world.
Actualy my submission:P
Taken in Japan with my camera, sorry to kill your hopes.
pwnt. *waits to be flamed*

Einstein FAIL.
In Soviet Russia, you fail Einstein,
the world changes your deductions,
and Ancient Greek time machines send you!
Comment injects you?
Or maybe they wanted to translate it into different languages?
Since the first word in the sentence in Engrish is “Now” and you say Agora = “Now”…
The language at the top is definitely Japanese. It says what it says in English as well. 8|

Noooo! I don’t want life to live me! I want to live life!
In Soviet Russia, Life is leaving you !
….well, my fellow fail bloggers. You did not let me down. I saw a sufficient number of societ russia comments. It was awesome.
Maybe you were looking for something just one key off?
This one truly brings about a sense of paranoia that no other picture can really express.
So what happens in 2011 then?
It is a temple in Kyoto and it is currently under construction/renovation until 2011.
maybe its just revisionist history where we dont attack and Russia wins.
so
in soviet japan engrish rearns you!
I knew it! I always knew it, and now here’s the proof! Where they hiding the cameras? How do I get outta here????!!
In soviet russia, sign laughs at you!
In Soviet Russia, Engrish botches Japanese people!
“right now life is living you” Actually, that’s pretty deep..
In Soviet Russia, life fails at you.
the full sign in japanese actually says literally “Now life is living you”. I think it was “今いのちがあなたを生きている”/”Inochi ga anata o ikiteiru”.
correcting myself.
“Ima inochi ga anata o ikiteiru”*
Dam soviets took over japan.
