Signs you are in Asia

There are some funny signs over here. I have taken pleasure in capturing some of them.

This one was taken at Wat Arun in Bangkok.

Do not dangle any doll.

Of course, if we had to translate our signs into Thai or Chinese, can you imagine the potential humor in our mistakes?




Another mistake I see often, mostly on menus, is stream rice instead of steamed rice.

Obviously, not a big deal.

I wish I could have captured an engraved sign I saw outside one restaurant. Instead of food & drink, it said Food & Dring.






This sign was taken at a waterfall in Luang Prabang, Laos.

I think the translation should be Slippery When Wet or Don't Slip!









This one represents what many think is my poor taste in humor.

If I was a woman, I just might have entertained the idea of getting a massage here.

I'm still waiting to find the massage parlors for men. Probably in Bangkok.
