This sign caught my eye. That orange tabby looks like quite the beast.

Here are the signs we saw on our road trip.
Surprisingly, we see more actual camels than these signs.
Hmm… red cars stay to the left? Red trucks, too?
There are a wide variety of speed bump warning signs. There are also a wide variety (and plethora) of speed bumps.
And the opposite of humps –

Ikea, How We Love Thee

There’s nothing quite like signs inside restroom stalls involving power tools.
Sea Urchin Lamp, that’s not it’s name, of course, but it is what it looks like.
Star Trek, The Next Generation chairs! The price is astronomical. 895AED/$244.00 on sale.
I found it interesting that the name of this product (and we all love Ikea product names, don’t we?) is more prominent than the picture of the product.
Diesel Tanker For Rent

Time for some signs, don’t you think?
Four all your diesel transport needs, you can rent a tanker.
I’m glad they warned me about this one. I’m afraid of heights.
Some signs speak for themselves.
We stopped for our check up. (The building framed by the gateway is next to our apartment building which is obscured by the gate.)
And to go with your rented diesel tanker, here is a water tankar.

I think, by elimination, I narrowed it down to the persimmons.
(If you don’t see any humor in “kaka fruit,” allow me to explain that “kaka” in some countries is slang for poop.)
Economy of Words

This is just a little redundant, don’t you think? Labour laboring.
It is not uncommon in “English as a second language land” to see signs that are anything but terse. This sign could use a good editor with a red pencil.
Everyone Will Thank You

Always follow number 4. Everyone will thank you.
Didn’t Expect to See That Here
June 21, 2011Posted by Kanga.
We were a little surprised to see this yesterday morning. Car decals and decorations usually consist of patriotic symbols (flag, images of rulers) or writing in Arabic of which I could only speculate at the content or cartoon characters. I have yet to see an actual bumper sticker. They may be illegal or just non-existent in this culture.
I’m not sure if this symbol would be widely recognized. I suspect only Christians would recognize it. UAE readers, what do you think?
