Nope, no blankets for sale! Is that what you thought? So did I at first, when I saw this sign on on a wall of Hotel Jugoslavija that you can read somewhat outdated information about right here. I'd just walked passed another sign on a floating restaurant that read 'Fine Dinning,' so I figured the same poor speller made this sign for 'blankets' and forgot the 'l'.Not so. 'Premier Halls,' a Belgrade firm using an English name, is advertising 'banket sale' (in Serbian) or 'banquet rooms.' A little confusing at first....
See what others have posted today on ABC WEDNESDAY.

«Louis» thought perhaps it is the same person who makes all the translation errors on the menus of Chinese restaurants...
Two restaurrants I'd walk past, for two different reasons.
Fascinating words. These blogs are so interesting. I learn so much information when visiting.
It's funny what your mind tells you what you see even when that isn't what you see. I would have sworn that word was "blanket"!
Banket for banquet does make some sense.
I'll let you sort it out. It is so funny to see one culture filtering another though. Americans are murder on "ferners".
you just had me do a double take! good one Bibi.

Hahaha! Which is exactly why spelling is so important, isn't it? LOL!
