Language Barriers

There are many frustrating things about being in a country where you cannot speak the language or read the writing. Many times when we are traveling the signs are only in Thai and we have to guess which way to go.

It does not help to stop and ask directions because most people do not understand or speak English.
The other day we were out and saw a couple of signs...we had to guess as to their meaning.

Below are our three best guesses as to what they meant.

Sign #1:
1. Please take your dog off of the leash before letting it poop.
2. Please do not let your three legged dog poop here.
3. Please do not let your dog poop extremely large pieces.


Sign # 2:
1. Please do not let your dog stick its tongue out.
2. No not letting your dog poop here. (would the word "no" negate the red no slash?)
3. No diarrhea allowed (only solid poop).

The first one could also be a stern warning:
If your dog poops here, we will cut his head off.
