Signs. Most of the time they are accurate and informative. They’re there to help or warn you. Sometimes though, they seem to exist only to amuse or confuse you, making you think “What am I supposed to do here?”, “How were they reasoning here?”, or “Did someone actually get paid for this?”. I know, there are cultural differences where one expression or sign makes sense to some people but not to others, and sometimes things are lost in translation. But, in times of selfies and group photos in front of landmarks or monuments, we must not ignore the signs!
