Silly signs - Beijing edition

Friday, June 25, 2010

Yet another installment in the continuing story of silly signs in Asia...this time from Beijing.

Do not slide down the hill...if you do, please do so with caution.

Do not pose in an awkward manner when attempting to climb up a ladder...this is not America's Next Top Model people!

Do not jump over the empty moat.

It is okay to walk opposite ways on the stairs.  I sort of think the little people on the sign were either walking up or down together...got into a big fight...then decided to part ways.

I sort of feel like this sign is saying it is okay to ride your wheelchair but just don't ride over cars or bicycles.

Do not take off your shirt, cut off your arms, and stand inside of a cart.  Although, if you cut off your arms...how on earth did you get the shirt to hang up like that?

Do not spill the ice out of your drink nor use jazz hands.

And my personal favorite of the trip...
 
Do not drive down the road with a campfire on top of your car...it just is.not.safe!  
I seriously have no idea what this sign actually means.  I wonder if there is an issue with cars catching on fire in Beijing?  Any suggestions from anyone?  Audience participation is strongly encouraged.

I am Jennifer R's friend from Greenwood living in Belgium. Love the one about Jazz hands! Right now in Belgium we have "frog crossing signs" and we are supposed to beware and yield to them. You can imagine what the sign looks like. I enjoy your posts!
