Singapore signs

Sunday, February 14, 2010

I have this odd fascination with weird signs.  You may recall I did a blog posting from Seoul about signs in their city.  Anytime I see a sign that I think is interesting I'll usually try and get a picture of it.  There are tons of new (to me) signs in Asia so I have fun with this.  Here are a few from the past two days at the Singapore Zoo and from today during our hike around MacRitchie Reservoir...most are warning signs meant to keep you safe or out of trouble.

Do not slip and fall onto your bum on this little slope here...


Do not climb into the lion cage when your wife is yelling at you.  As an aside, I'm oddly fascinated that there is a larger warning in Chinese versus just the simple warning statement in English.

Do not get bonked on the head by falling branches...or run faster in order to avoid falling branches...this could go either way...

Do not enter or you might get shot...

Feeding monkeys bananas may alter their natural behavior and cause them to become aggressive crazy and grow giant ears...


-Do not taunt the fish with an empty hook...
-Do not catch butterflies or bugs...
-Do not tent...
-Do not feed the monkey a banana...
-Do not squeeze a bird...
-Do not lose your bandage...
-Do not break the thingy...
-Do not light matches with really big flames...
-Do not motorcycle, car, or bicycle...
-Do not have a dog...
-Do not break the poison ivy...
-Do not play horrible music with an antique boombox...
 


I hope this helps all of you in case you ever come to Singapore for a visit.

The last sign--or should I say your translation of the last sign--has me laughing myself into tears. So funny!
