Austrian Sign Language

During a recent snowboarding trip to lovely Austria, I discovered again my feelings of bewilderment towards this confusing little country. This is in relation to
a/ their sense of humour (see picture 1 and 2 for reference) and
b/ their use of the german language...
Click to enlarge. And enjoy.

a/ 1.: "Attention. Snowbunny coming from the right!"


a/ 2:"Careful. Bear on the loose!"


b: I read: "In winter – skiing without decency!" Now, this may be a little tricky to translate but I'll try. What the Austrians are trying to say here, is "in winter – skiing without queuing (at the lifts)". The Austrian sign maker thought to himself: 'Anstehen' ('to queue') may as well be called 'Anstand', cause this Austria and we make the rules. Therefore, he continued to think to himself, 'anstandlos' = no queuing. However, 'Anstand' actually means 'decency' (in Germanygerman, that is) , 'anstandlos' = no decency! No wonder all German tourists are rowdies!
p.s.: What's with the cows??? Below 2020m they go upside down?

Save the last Beer

I live in this old-fashioned building in Munich now, where the toilets of each flat are located outside of the flat in the staircase. Some call it "Berlin style toilets"; sound much more fashionable. Either way, my smart neighbour made sure to take the all important Munich brewed beer with him on the way to the cold, far away "stilles Oertchen"...

Late Nite Type Ride...

...through Kreuzberg. 'Ride' as in 'walk' sounding nicer.

'Abrupt/sudden'.

'Nana'.

Nice communication between 3 graffiti writers. Difficult to spot but the dog actually says 'first', the girl goes 'second', the bear-like creature says 'third'.

Ceiling lights at Farbfernseher. Somehow letter-like, too.

Not really type, but still pretty.

No idea what this is.

Eine Reise zum Hamburger Bahnhof...

...a trip to Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin's museum for contemporary art.

We were standing on the bridge just before the main building, and these huge sheets of ice were floating past underneath us...at low speed...like a message from spring...winter's over!

Then we met a couple of abandoned Ugg Boots. Not too much of a surprise considering how ugg-ly they are.

The museum is free on a thursday afternoon and there is some great contemporary and modern art on display. I loved the Marx collection including Warhol, Rauschenberg and lots of Cy Twombly's messy paintings. The bookstore is great, too, with a dangerously large amount of very low-priced books!
