Here is what I found on The Standard HK on Friday, article written by N. Vittachi.

"Warning: Before reading the list, please note. We do not intend to offend any particular nation. We intend to offend all nations.

The Official List of Accurate Asian Travel Slogans:

Sri Lanka: Our sunshine will scorch your outside while our curries scorch your inside.

Taiwan: The most popular target for mainland missiles.

Thailand: Come see how long you can stay prime minister.

Japan: You think our cartoons are weird, wait till you meet our people.
