They include a bra advertised in Japan as 'dairy comfort'; a warning in Indonesia about an 'accident porn area' and a supermarket sign that bizarrely just reads 'a time sex thing'.

Tread lightly: Chinese people are known for their modesty but who would have guessed even the grass is ashamed to smile?

They include linguistic mishaps like the South Korean restaurant meal called 'crotch steamed dish'. and an emergency exit accidentally labelled 'emergency exist'.

And truly bizarre Chinese signs warning pedestrians to keep off the grass.
