What's your sign?

Just what I always wanted...a place where my fans could adore me (!). Bangalore at St Mary's Basilica.

The weirdest sign

If you turn my pack upside down after a month's travelling, this sign becomes quite accurate. Be afraid...be very afraid.

must be "foul belching", probably something that happens after engaging in SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE.

pondicherry children's park

I'm not sure how readable this is, but the sign between santa and the boy in crutches reads:

Before crossing the road if you don't look left and right!
"There will be nothing left to be right for you."
Welcome to Children's Park

Thanks for the translation Sirensongs.......brilliant!!!

Lotus blossom...Licoria is most probably caused by SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE - there'd be no sex before marriage if there was foul belching, or would there???

<make note to google licoria>

Licoria

I'm sure that's meant to be "Leucorrhea" - but I've no idea what that actually is...

There is such a thing as licoria and it's a herb!!! But while 'googling' I also found a cure for Skin Haemorrhoids!!!

Oh, and Leucorrhoea is not for a public forum

I wish I'd taken a photo of the sign at the bottom of Shatrunjaya Hill, Palitana, Gujarat. This is what it said:

It is advisable not to climb Holy Hill before sunrise. Most valuable ornament. Cash etc. should not be with them. Gaurds staying on each rest venue. As well as two gaurds are ever concurrent in footed mobile duty to relax from arised trouble.

If YOU have a photo, please share it with us...

This is such a classic example of Inglish, even a photo couldn't improve its effect. Somewhere, I have a photo of the sign at the entry to the Tanjavur museum - soooo convoluted I can't even describe it.
