lost in translation



Cecilia's trip to Thailand revealed some odd translations complete with quotation marks. Just keep your "fins" away from our "coral", ok?

TRIPLE quotes around the first fin -- I guess they mean business!

Fins really do cause a lot of damage to live reefs, one kick can wipe out hundreds of years of growth. I suppose "Inconsiderate divers will be caned!" makes for a poor slogan eh?

I like "Fin Do Not Used Here" the best.

I think that eaxamples from places that doesn't have english as their main language are a lot less fun than the "american" examples.
