Signs...of the World
After an entertaining week in Finland with my excessively funny/goofy sister, I began documenting the signs of the world-- some are familiar, some are instructive, others are indecipherable. Enjoy!
"Follow me," Norway
"Oh!," Finland
"Oh, my!," Finland
"Walk carefully in circles," Finland
"Doggy box," Finland
"100 Meter Dash," Russia
"Nyet..." Russia
"Don't...walk off buildings"
"Don't...drink while leaning on a lamppost"
"Don't...cross-country ski on the grass"
"Don't...miss the trash can by a few inches"
"No speedos."
"Caution!," Russia
"No anchoring on the highway," Russia
"Put something where?" Dubai
"I'd like a table near the creek," Dubai
**
"No sitting on grass. No playing on grass. No climbing trees with jacksaws," Dubai
**Note violators in bottom right corner.
"Our flights cover the entire Middle East...minus one," Dubai
"Please..." Dubai
Sticker on the back of an auto-rickshaw:
"Try the potato salad," India*
*See Delhi and Mussourie posts.
"No marching" or "No crossing the line," Singapore
"Dangerous pruning ahead!" United Kingdom
"...unless able to walk on air." United Kingdom

Cool signs. My friend Darren is bringing back a sign from Malta. It's a bar sign from a pub he likes to go to, and the owner got a new sign.
I like the premise of your type of travel and letting your memory be your travel bag. It's like the website I'm working on for a designer named Barbara Hodgson. She travels the world and brings back memories in the form of found art, old documents and photos. Then she does these beautiful photo collages for her books.
If you get a chance check out the site: Tradinginmemories.com
Enjoy Finland.
Love your sign collection!
Keep posting from your travels.
