This is one fun theme. I had lots of photos to choose from. Most of the photos are from my summer trip to Asia... so there are some literal mishaps included. :)
I am glad for Bilingual signs... I wish I were more than tri-lingual... I would have been lost if it were not for the considerate bilingual translations.
On a wall of a construction site in Singapore. I am sure the sign was intentional... sure caught my attention.
A hotel perk in Hong Kong.
"Do not weap slippers in the bathroom to prevent slidng"
A sign in the Philippines... At first my "English-speaking" brain read this and questioned "What???" Then I realized as I reverted to my "Tagalog-speaking" brain that "IWAS" meant - prevent... Duh! (on me)
The following were taken to satisfy the self-centered me... LOL ... Somewhere in the desert between Palm Desert and San Diego.
Cebu, Philippines... I wish I spent sometime here... :)

Love your collection! Thank goodness for multi-language signs when traveling.
And I love your story about your "hippee van" in your comment on mine. I think it's great you let the kids make an Art Car! Do you have any photos of it?
Have a great weekend!

Oh. PREVENT swine flu. I thought they might be talking about a Typhoid Mary.

Those are all great signs. I think I like the first sign because there is so much going on with the different languages and arrows.

Hi Eden, I love your collection of Words! They are wonderful choices for this week's theme.
Eden's resort sounds like a great place! That's my favorite photo.
Have a great weekend!

Great photos of the signs. It's so interesting to see them all, and see all of the mistakes.

Great collection of words! I always get a kick out of spelling mistakes, including mine.
Here’s one to add to your Eden collection: a year ago, while in Venice in a quaint campo, I took a photo of a hotel named Hotel Eden. I’m going to dig out the photo and posted in my blog soon.
