One of the best things about travel is seeing ordinary life from another country’s point of view–ho hum for them but new and interesting for us. Here are some signs we’ve seen on our travels that I doubt the locals give a second glance–but they sure made us do a double take!

Om nom nom…

You’re in grave danger…

Subway etiquette in Seoul. Serious subject, but with frank, tell-it-like-it-is graphics.

Toilet humour?
