Signs of the Times Part II

Well, I have been here eight months now, and as always have had the great privilege of studying, and criticizing, the signage in Taipei. For the most part, the signs are in good grammatical order- third person singular is conjugated correctly and participles are located in their proper places. However, translation can sometimes leave bits of ironic twists that weren't originally intended. So, after hunting for the best signs since the last installment of "Signs of the Times," I have compiled this list. While I admit they aren't the funniest of signs, to an individual with a highly developed sense of humor, however, they will proffer a minor chuckle. Enjoy.

This looks like the dress code for my high school.

LOSER!

Because everyone rides a bike on the back tire.

Do you know any Asians named Bob?

Caution: Extended time in a hot spring may lead to pruned fingertips and broad shoulders.

This photograph was taken inside a revolving restaurant. It translates to- "Do not put anything on walls because they will revolve away from you."

A sign of Heaven. And globalization.

Until next time, from your direction following, rule abiding, sign aficionado, Michael.
