Signs can be our biggest allies; they can also lead us far astray. Either way,

we rely on them heavily—especially in unfamiliar places—so we take care to read every word. And sometimes, what we see is, well, hilarious.

Whether the language is unintentionally misleading or lost in translation, or an

illustration isn’t quite right, it makes for a shareable moment. So the camera

comes out and the photo goes up—on our social media profiles, Flickr pages,

blogs, and the community section of TravelandLeisure.com. We pulled the photos

from T+L members that made us laugh, in hopes that they’d work the same magic on

you.

Some signs have questionable (or no) punctuation; others are meant

to be funny. And some are just downright strange. All of them make our journey

more interesting—and amusing.

Can’t say they didn’t warn you.

You definitely don’t want to get caught in the rain here
