It's funny how one notices differences between their own country and others that they visit. Last weekend, I went to Seattle and found some quirky differences between there and my hometown in Canada. I thought that I would share these differences in signage with you...
A Dead End in Seattle is a street that has No Exit in Victoria.
In Victoria, we come to a 4-Way stop but in Seattle it's an All Way.
If you usually park your car in a Small Car parking spot at the mall in Victoria, you would park in a Compact Car spot in Seattle.
Anyway, the coffee maker is making spurting noises so I'd better run. (For those of you who know I don't drink coffee, I wanted to let you know that I having been using the office coffee maker to brew tea. Funny. It works without spilling the tea leaves into the pot...)
If you have any interesting comparisons of culture or signage, won't you share them with us?
