This place is not for impolite visitors.
Wear a suit or go on home.
Who wears short shorts? Unwelcome guests to temples around Ninh Binh, Vietnam apparently.
We have all seen them on our travels to foreign lands: signs, written in English, that make us chuckle and snap a picture. Sometimes we even scoff and wonder why they don’t just hire a proof reader. Of course, we can only guess what hilarity our own country’s translations might elicit from visitors lucky enough to even find a sign in their native language. Got a funny sign you want to share? Upload it and tag it “funny sign”!

I love funny signs when abroad. Actually I've come across quite a few in Malta too. Good idea for a theme.
