While google translate might seem to be the solution to many things, it is not for everything! Translating signage at international airports can be quite a challenge when it’s not done by a professional. Rather than simple directions, travelers at Japan’s Narita Airport are puzzlingly told to “Go back toward your behind” to find the restrooms.
While the sign’s wording is odd to English speakers, you have to appreciate the effort to assist international travelers. We’d gently suggest “Restrooms near the gate” to reduce confusion. But if you’re feeling adventurous, go ahead and follow the arrows!
So if you stumble upon these quirky anatomical directions, just smile and be thankful for the laughs during your travel trials. And remember – no judging the earnest translators having a little silly signage fun! After all, getting lost in translation is all part of the journey. Just pack your patience and humor along with your passport.
