Originality


While on an excursion near the village of Jakovo, not far from Belgrade, I came upon these signs on restroom doors. "Toalet" is the Serbian phonetic spelling of "toilet," but as you can see, someone needs to get their plurals straight. The interpretations of 'man' and 'woman' are clever, though!

I've been lurking on your blog for a while - love your pictures.

This one reminds me of the time I was at a dog club and the bathroom doors said "setters" and "pointers". I think they may have actually had pictures of the dogs, and maybe not even though words. I have to admit, it took me a few moments to figure it out.

Funny! Perhaps there are those who do not understand the differences between the two genders and thus need stick drawings?

Great fun, I think!

CROSS-CULTURE BREAKFAST

  Have been in India one week. I brought my hostess some ajvar, which she found goes very well on a chapati.
