Signs from Around the World
I like signs. They are not just instructional – they are Word Art! Here are a few of the best that I have found in my travels.

At one restaurant I once saw a sign: Free Children with every meal purchase. I thought it funny as sounded like they were giving children away!

Great collection…. some people have a sense of humour!

I like it when I find signage that springs from a deliberate sense of humour, rather than the accidental type that comes about as a result of translation problems.

Oh then you wouldn’t like China’s signs and their Chinglish translations. 😉

I find many signs now in English here in Shanghai – which is helpful, but can be funny. There are 2 or 3 small books of photos of JUST Chinglish examples… smart idea that I wish I thought of!

Very funny! Good thing they got that glass tapping under control :-).

I expect a sign like that resulted in more tapping rather than less – which is what they may have intended!

Wow! That one sign was a revelation– I had no idea dogs could read!! : )

I didn’t either. I guess that is why they generally use diagrams when they want to indicate where dogs shouldn’t poop.
