Things you see in the middle of nowhere – an ongoing series

This is part 1 of a series of posts that discuss things I see on my travels.

I say that they are in the middle of nowhere.  The title should read more like ‘things you see in places that you, the majority of the population, wouldn’t normally visit on a vacation’. But that seems like a mouthful. For the most part these photos or videos will come from my travels while on business in Asia.  Some are intended to be educational. Some will surprise you.  And some are just good for a laugh.

This post is from a recent trip to China where I decided to photograph a few signs I came across in day-to-day life.

This one is from inside a restroom and was a stall that was specially designated:

Whoa, I can go for a coffee right now, hey, is that sign looks familiar:

I greatly appreciate in any country where English is not its primary language for taking the effort to create and post signage so foreign devils like me can understand what is going on. This can create an opportunity for translation confusion, which can be good for a little chuckle.
