Road Signs

it's incredible, all the students went out to do some "social work" (cleaning vey likely, they have to do it most saturdays, usually one year at a time, but i guess this saturday they took everyone..) so the internet is actually quite quick! quick enough to let me into my blog..

so even thought it's been a month, thought i'd put some stuff up from my trip in Ladakh..

First of all, some road signs.. It truly cracked me up - I think they employ english grads to create the text of the road signs, most of them were truly brilliant, the laughter certainly would keep me awake, as you drive those somewhat perilous roads..

Some of my favourites:

All will wait, better be late

Don’t be a gama in the land of the lama (GAMA???)

Drive, don’t fly

This is a highway, not a runway. Drive slow

The curves are stealthy, keep away to stay healthy

Better late than never

Be Mr. Late, vs Late Mr.

Driving faster can cause disaster

Time is money, but life is precious

Let your insurance policy mature before you do

Life is short, don’t make it shorter

After whisky, driving is risky

Time is not rally or race, drive with grace

Mountains are a pleasure, only if you drive with leisure

If you love her, please divorce speed

Alert today, Alive tomorrow


i think we should have similar ones in the rockies really
