This way? No way!


I understand that most of our findings should be from the mass media, but having just returned from a half year stint on exchange, I have decided to share with you some quirky experiences I had of deciphering foreigners' unique lexical use. On your left is a sign I took within the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France. I gathered that it meant we were not supposed to exit that way --- typically "No Entry"; but their translation into "No Way" tickled me pink!

Welcome(:

Hello everyone!

I am looking forward to sharing my findings with you and will do so soon! Meanwhile, take care and i'm so excited to start exploring your blogs! (:

Cheers,
Heon
