Twinkling Quiet and Equilibrium

The scourge of Chinglish continues unabated here in Beijing.  I was at a very nice restaurant earlier this evening, and picked up a brochure.  The opening paragraph read as follows:  "Walk by the scenic Si De Park, the flicklenness becomes in a twinkling quiet and equilibrium."  Huh?

This reminded me of   one of my favorite posts that I wrote a couple of years ago, called Twinkling with Inheriting and Development Achievement. Follow the link to read the whole thing.

What's with all the twinkling?
