A classic sign i found whilst in Kyoto (Japan) It was on a drink vending machine in the gardens surrounding a Castle.  :D

First two sentences must be;

Please do not enter the castle while drinking.

Put the cap on and put it in a bag for carrying whilst touring the castle.

Don't know about the Chief bit, lost me.


PET is the plastic used for drinks bottles and cap, it stands for Polyethylene terephthalate.

Engrish translation...

"please do not drink beverages while viewing the castle. If you have a beverage with a cap, you may leave it in your purse. If your beverage does not have a cap, you must throw it away."

Sorted :D
