I was browsing through B3TA.com’s weekly newsletter<\/a> and they had a picture of a l33t road sign painting. Not too amazing in itself, but it got me to thinking about another US\/UK difference. Obviously there’s the left\/right side driving thing (It’s easier to use your lance if you’re driving on the left, or deliver milk, or something…) but another thing is that you read US road signs (in California at least) up the page, so to speak and UK ones from top to bottom. Ie. in the UK it’s “Slow, All traffic turn left”. and in the States: “Turn left, traffic all, Slow”. I’m pretty sure about this one but keep an eye out in case…<\/p>\n

\nUK signs
\nTurnLeet US
\nArtist’s impression of US signs (it’s too early to be photoshopping…)<\/div>\n

I remember when me little sis was in Oakland for sita’n’me’s wedding and she saw XING painted on the street and assumed it was Chinese. Each language has its quirks. Pelican crossings<\/a>, anyone?<\/p>\n

Anyroad, last night’s meal was wonderful once again even though we had to wait half an hour for a table. I’m scared to order anything which isn’t caña de lomo though, which has to be the best cut of beef in the world. I was so tired afterwards though I managed to fall asleep half-way through one of the last two episodes of Lost. Which says more about how tired I was than the quality of the episode. I’ll watch it this evening while Sita’s at her last *sob* tequila class. Tomorrow we’re going to Tequila again to visit a friend’s agave ranch\/farm\/plantation. I’m really looking forward to taking photos there.<\/p>\n

And our water’s working again. It ran browny\/red for a minute or so then back to normal. I’m thinking twice about carrying on drinking the tap water now. Hopefully the tank will be full in 10 mins or so and I can have that shower I wanted at 7:30 today…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
