Party onboard? How cool is that? This double-decker was used two months ago for the launching of a local beer.

No one seems to be aboard the party bus though. I wonder where the party-goers were if they’re not on the bus. For more signs around the world, please click the logo. It will lead you to Leslie’s Signs, signs site.

APAD 241: Four Legs Inn

Attention-grabbing, isn’t it? I believe all of you will agree with me that it is so.

I have to say that after reading the name on that sign, images were running through my head, lol. The area where this sign is located used to be a red-light district not long ago. However, due to government-crackdown on brothels, the area was cleaned up and there cheap guest-houses and inns sprouted instead as replacements. Sadly, nothing changed, especially at night. The newly-built structures merely masked the “trade”.

I asked my husband to do a U-turn and go back so I could get a photo. The sign certainly piqued my interest about the advertised place; maybe yours will be, as well. I think despite its connotation – intended, or unintended due to language differences – it is a funny sign 🙂

APAD 238: A broken wing

We have a small veranda garden in our apartment. Nothing spectacular, just greens and flowering plants in pots. We have orchids and roses and they give me pleasure every time I see their flowers bloom. We also have regular free-loaders and visitors who stay in the garden…

… this visitor seems to have a broken wing. My husband and I found it one morning resting on this plant.
