The most lovely older taxi driver was use to driving around this area. <br />When I got into the cab he really didn't know how to get to my hotel. Not knowing street names I showed him were to drive by landmarks. <br />It worked ! One of my best memories.angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184571205434660863.post-70758558534393182582014-10-22T18:38:13.461-07:002014-10-22T18:38:13.461-07:00So many street covers are works of art.So many street covers are works of art.angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184571205434660863.post-78221190734267886342014-10-22T17:56:26.480-07:002014-10-22T17:56:26.480-07:00Wow, even the manhole cover is a piece of art.
Th...Wow, even the manhole cover is a piece of art.<br /><br />That sign is a hoot. It reminds me of a story from some years ago when a few of my hubby's co-workers were in Japan on a business trip. Since there was some free time before the next meeting, one of the guys decided to do some exploring on his own. He figured he'd be real clever, and to make sure he got back okay, he copied down the writing from a sign so he could use it as a landmark. When he was ready to head back, he showed what he'd written down to a taxi driver. What he'd copied translated to, "You are here." Luckily, he remembered the name of the hotel where he was staying...Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184571205434660863.post-84400772719041646582014-10-22T16:25:39.350-07:002014-10-22T16:25:39.350-07:00That is quite a lovely cover!That is quite a lovely cover!William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184571205434660863.post-84874139853936152422014-10-22T12:01:43.235-07:002014-10-22T12:01:43.235-07:00Very funny!
