A Little Comic Relief

---

An extra special blog entry this time, just to tide you all over & keep everyone interested until we're able to update properly again.

Ever since the travels began we've encountered many funny signs, menus, advertisements and occurences. Most of these have been documented photographically, and below is what we have so far. From what we've seen in our first couple of days in Thailand, we'll have enough material for another one of these blogs again soon. But for now sit back, get ready for a giggle, and enjoy..... xxx

Photos

Amusingly named Nepalese fire extinguisher

Elephant Mating (Text)
Tee hee hee. What do you mean, grow up!?

A very polite (if a little colloquial) road sign!

Sychronised male love in India

Advertisement Banner
This was draped across the street in Jaisalmer. Why not?

Jaisalmer Museum
A couple of oil lamps in Jaisalmer's Cultural Museum, accompanied by a sign, very clearly clarifying why they qualify for display.

Big Load!
There isn't a Hindi word for 'overloaded'

Smile!
Camel close-up

Beer
A disconcerting sign in Jaisalmer (we hoped it was just a simple misspelling of 'chilled')

Its a Palace.... but nothing special

Anyone can get a driving license in India!

Bonnispaz!
We're still none the wiser, but the baby looks happy enough!
