Signs of Japan

Another interesting slice of life is how you want people about danger or other things. Just thought it would be fun to share some of the ones we ran across.

First a detour back, to Oslo. A warning of sorts…that struck me with the assumptions this one was making and it did not appear to be part of a series.

Now on to Istanbul. At the airport we were on what we call a “moving sidewalk” but their translation to English is “travelator.” I had not seen that before and I definitely want to start using it.

Now on to Japan.

Ask for help if you drop something…they have long grabbers
Don’t get your fingers caught in the elevator door
Seems like a decent life rule. This was at a temple.
There is one really mean hornet. The rest are not going to bother you.
Don’t stick your hands in the door. They are very serious about this and you will make the train sad.
A different train but the same message
Even if you keep your hand out of the door you are still in danger
Hello Kitty is so helpful
Watching everything in Nagoya
Don’t point your loved one at the tracks
Kawagoe uses sweet potato’s to designate where to stand for the train
Don’t steal the recyclables
Jump into the portal in case of emergency…630 meters behind you
So many warnings on escalators and you better not walk up them
Stand in both spaces and walking up the escalator
Outside of a castle that has burned down at least 3 times….seems fair
This has been hear since the castle was originally built
We saw all of these happen
Angry deer….no cookies
