One thing about going to Asia I always enjoy is seeing the interesting results of the increasing use of English on signage and tourist literature. Here are some favorites from this trip: "No Passing A Grass" (on the lawn at Vientiane's Patsouxai monument)..."Luang Prabang Narcotics Supression Bureau Department" (our Department of Redundancy Department winner)..."Push Button To Stop Orator" (I know we all have wished at some point that we could do that), "Whole Tailer, Retailer" (on a clothing store)...and finally my favorite, "Snakes Will Be Served" (I believe "snacks" is what they were going for).
See you next trip!
