Amazing Michendorf
Travelling to Nuremberg from Berlin, I came across the lovely town of Michendorf.
Michendorf is very exciting when it comes to signs.
Click to enlarge and view the chubby illustrations of the 'healthy and fit' physiotherapist.
This sign was bought in the seventies?!
'Low prices, clever costumers'
It's true: In Germany all dogs are called Rex. You may already know this from Kommissar Rex.
Click to enlarge and agree with me: I'm so glad I'm not called Lieckefett. I cant even say why.

Burial Berlin Style
Three Berlin impressions...somehow all related to death...
1. Discount Burial
Click to enlarge, and read: 'Farewell 24...a dignified burial does not have to be expensive...discount burials '
2. Delivery entrance Meat / Sausage
(kinda related to death, too, no?)
3. I want to die
Click to enlarge and read this person's wish at Oranienburger Tor.

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?
