WTF do they mean by 'trespassers are fined and deported' followed by 'Korean offenders are fined'? Is trespasser supposed to mean foreigner? Am I a trespasser here now? Learn some bloody English before you start putting up signs like this, whoever is responsible- or if the slight is intended, I'm your frigging guest, not a freaking trespasser!

they meant to use 'violators'. and the present progressive 'being'. Also.....eh....let me leave it at that. The sign is full of mistakes.

Okay. Well at least it gave me a chance to find out which words can get past the censors on this board.
