frauke at large

In the spirit of academically sound research (and trust me … this is rigorous research indeed; in fact we should get funded for this) and therefore the necessity for a well balanced argument, I must note that although Chinese signs are always a great source of amusement and hence provide hours of laughter … we (i.e. those who should know better) don’t always get it right either.

After trawling through stacks of pictures from my various visits to far away places last year, I found some more highly amusing stuff that I had almost forgotten about. There’s ‘Pratt street‘, which we found right around the corner from ‘Strange street‘ (and then, on top of that, they manage to miss-spell Paris. Ha!) … We also have something that’s literally ‘Just Rubbish’, plus a sign for the people who, apparently, know how to put the fun into horse riding. Hmmm …

Last but certainly not least … as New Zealand is filled with cows and therefore must be an extremely lonely place at night … for farmers and other strange folk … we have ‘Cow talk‘ – Wed and Fri at 6.40am … for all the lonely hearts out there … I must say: I am slightly worried as to what we might have found, had we given it a try: ‘cow therapy’, i.e. a cow on a shrink’s sofa? Or a crazy guy reading bed time stories to cows? Or perhaps even more worrying: a Jerry Springer style cow chat show …
