Despite the signs in English, Kathmandu can be a little daunting for newcomers.
I’m enjoying these Weekly Photo Challenges. WordPress’s Daily Post suggests a topic to give bloggers a nudge in the ribs. We then do our best to post something worth looking at, and check out what others have come up with.
This one is about ‘Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas any more’ moments.
Street signs I come across in Asia are a constant source of innocent merriment.
Australian buses sometimes have ‘Do not distract the driver’ signs. Buses in Singapore have other rules.
I thought at first this sign on the Singapore subway train was a ‘Beware of Pickpockets’ warning.
Ah – THIS is the pickpocket sign! So that one above must be, ‘Beware of aliens with big heads and short legs.’
You’ll be able to hear every word of the sermon, even if you sit up the back in this church in Melaka, Malaysia.
You tell me what the number refers to. Altitude, floor area, perimeter, price of a beer? I have no idea. Kathmandu, Nepal.
No joke here. Sadly, this was shutting the stable door after the horse had bolted in the Phi Phi Islands, Thailand.
No, cyclists are not totally crazy in Singapore. The ban applied to the path BESIDE the water. I presume.
At last – something familiar! (Tokyo)
Thamel!!!! I recognised immediately!!!
I have been in Kathmandu for 3 months and just recently got back, and seing your photo opend up my heart soooo much!!! 
Thank you for sharing it!
Yes, very well spotted. Thamel indeed. I didn’t stay in that area myself; I found somewhere quieter close by. But I did really enjoy the city. Thanks for visiting!
Kathmandu is a crazy city!
Oh yes, but fun too.
Indeed!
Signs are so fun.
Thank HM. It helps me when they’re in English of course.
I hear you! Wish I knew several languages. But English will do…in a pinch.
The third sign actually says beware of perverts! Funny how as a Singaporean I had never seen that myself!
It sometimes takes a foreigner to notice these things, THM. Thanks for the explanation. I’m sure there must be Australian signs (‘Kangaroos Next 5km’?) that entertain visitors.
I love the photo of Thamel. What a crazy place!
It certainly is, and getting crazier all the time. It used to be a laid-back hippie place, I’m told.
I often see signs as crazy as some of the photos you’ve posted here. We all know that they were posted for some noble reason but hey, we can’t help it if they’re funny at the same time.

these really brightened my morning – thanks
You’re very welcome. They give me a lift too when I spot them. Thanks for the visit and ‘like’ – we bloggers love encouragement!

I think that first sign on the Singapore subway train isn’t about aliens with big heads and short legs, but about molestation… Just sayin! This was a funny post, I had a bit of a giggle.
