Engrish and Unfortunate Naming

To be fair, I thought I'd see more of this kind of thing, but beyond
the predictable "Beware of your head," "Long Ireland Ice Tea," and
"Noodles with pork and spies" (which was delicious, the spies giving
it that extra kick), it's been a lot less unintentuonally hilarious
than any translating I could do.

There is some unfortunate naming: Cabbages and Condoms, where we're
eating now and which supports AIDS work and population control in
Thailand, is more delicious than the name implies.

On the other hand, we did book some flights in Cambodia at an agency
called DOA Travel. Fortunately, the results are not as advertised.
