Being China, most Chinese only know Chinese or Pu Tong Hua, and they speak and understand very little English.
Therefore, you see improper English everywhere in China, including Guangzhou of course.
When the Chinese attend school, English is actually a subject but not a language to them.
All their lessons are conducted in Chinese.
Unless you go to high end restuarant/pubs, dont expect too much good English around here.
Below are some pictures I took around my areas, Im sure there are much much more...
Let me share a joke on this...
One English tourist went to a shop in China to buy a digital camera. But, since the camera is really cheap, he is afraid that it may spoil easily and there is no guaranty on quality. He went to the shopkeeper to ask for assurance. The Chinese shopkeeper pointed at a sign outside his shop that says, " Guaranty No Spoil". So, the English man bought the camera, but after a few tries, it broke down. He went back to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper told him,"hello, China read from right to left"
Heehee..
Take care!!
