Last time I went back to Taiwan, I made sure to seek out Engrish shirts at one of those clothing markets. Here are a few I found.

a shirt with a picture of a woman printed on it. The english text on the shirt says "Laundry Room ~loads of fun"

a shirt with "orlifornir" printed on it. its clearly meant to say "california"

a shirt with text on it. the text says "clothing" then a bunch of random letters.

Bonus signage picture

a picture of signage in the window of a cafe that says "bread (new line) is the staff of life". its clearly meant to say "staff" instead

"bread is the staff of life" is a real phrase though.
