Ahhh..the wonders of a vacation. Theres nothing like it to cure a weary heart, refresh a stressed-out mind and rejuvenate a tired and aching body. Here, Ive compiled the 5 places I would love to fly to for a quick getaway, but mind you, I didnt choose these places only because of the lovely scenery, friendly locals, budget friendly prices and all that, but rather, I considered them for their err rather interesting signs, products, posters and what have you. A little confused as to what Im getting at, read on and youll see what I mean!
1. First up, we have
Mexico! The fact that its just across the border makes it a highly convenient vacation spot. The weather is always tropically sunny. The food is not only great but cheap too! And it must be mentioned that it is the land of tequila. Now, added with the possibility of staying in this heavenly Mexican
retreat , who could say no?! Another good thing about going to Mexico, as this sign wonderfully illustrates are the unbeatable helpfulness of the locals, especially the local security guards
2. Who doesnt love wonderful Asia, especially
Japan.
The Japanese have always been known for their wonderful hospitality, their exotic Geisha , and for their advanced and quirky products, as seen here:
3. Since were already in Asia, it wouldnt make sense if we didnt make a stop in
China. China today is vastly different from the China of ten, maybe fifteen years ago. Its modern, with tall skyscrapers and luxury cars, and yet, some of the great old world sights still remain like the great wall, and the terracotta army. Unknown to many, Chinese restaurants are very concerned about their customers, as this sign says:
Its such a nice way to say go away, right? :D
4. Next, lets go see the exciting Down Under which is
Australia. This tourism video shows the variety of places to go, animals to see and things to do there:
Besides that though, the true beauty and wonder of this country lies in signs like these:
5.My last stop would be the
Philippines. Ive heard so much about the beautiful
Boracay Island from friends and family who have managed to make it down there. The sand is said to be so white and powdery, unlike any other beach in the world.The sunsets too are breathtaking.
Another thing the Philippines is known for is their unique cuisine. Theyre famous for their
balut or duck eggs with duck fetuses on them. It doesnt really sound appetizing. But what are your thoughts on this menu, also from the Philippines:
Care for some babyrages, maam? :p
The world is so full of wonderful sights to see, and just when you least expect it, its always ready to surprise you with a couple of good laughs too!
Hope you found the signs as entertaining as I did.:)
