Dam soviets took over japan.

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.

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.

It is a temple in Kyoto and it is currently under construction/renovation until 2011.

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”.

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|

“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!

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.

I’m guessing the complete sign says, “Now, there is life within.” or something along that line.
