Signs of Singapore

Sarah and I were recently able to travel to Singapore over the Lunar New Year break in our teaching schedule. It's the largest holiday celebration here (think like Christmas in the US), so universities had 2 weeks vacation from class. While there, we enjoyed the warmth (80-90 degrees and sunny), the efficient infrastructure, the greeness & clean(er) air, the delicious food, and being able to communicate in English.

We also got a few laughs out of some of the signs we saw.


#1: Snow Route - This one made me feel at home. Granted, it was placed in a New York set at
                                   Universal Studios. But still. 



 #2: Unecessary Noise Prohibited - Hanoi definitely needs one of these signs. Actually, many.



 #3: Beware of Peacocks - Gosh darn birds and their "overt courting behavior." 



#4: Beware of Monkeys - Man, Singapore and its animals!



#5: Press for Little Green Man - So our first question was, where's the button for a tall, dark, and handsome?
