The Pinghe Teacher Hotel in Shanghai

Man, that was a headache. Thank you. Looks like it’s meant to be read left to right, top to bottom, straight lines only, except around the middle-ish (formatting this on mobile so it probably won’t work):

P I

N G

H E

T E A

C H E R

H O

T E L

It's the G, R, and O that fucks up what they were going for. It otherwise conforms to it's stand if left to right, top to bottom

Nah its the Pinghe bit because it seems to make no sense as most people don't recognise it as a... Place?

The rest of the stuff you can work out pretty easily but the start just confuses everything

No I'm saying that if they were going for "read each upperleft-most letter then repeat," those letters are where that system fails.

The entire thing undeniably fails at the task of being a legible sign
