Planning an overseas vacation? Some signs you come across should not be taken literally!
Going Up!!
* In a Bucharest hotel lobby: "The lift is being fixed for the next day. During that time we regret that you will be unbearable."
* In a Leipzig elevator: "Do not enter lift backwards, and only when lit up."
* In a Belgrade hotel elevator: "To move the cabin, push button for wishing floor. If the cabin should enter more persons, each one should press a number of wishing floor. Driving is then going alphabetically by national order."
* In a Paris hotel elevator: "Please leave your values at the front desk."
Shopping on Vacation
* In a Rhodes tailor shop: "Order your summers suit. Because is big rush we will execute customers in strict rotation."
* Two signs from a Majorcan shop entrance: "English well speaking". "Here speaking American".
* In a Tokyo shop: "Our nylons cost more than common, but you'll find they are best in the long run."
Eating on Vacation
* On the menu of a Swiss restaurant: "Our wines leave you nothing to hope for."
* On the menu of a Polish hotel: "Salad a firm's own make; limpid red beet soup with cheesy dumplings in the form of a finger; roasted duck let loose; beef rashers beaten up in the country people's fashion."
* In a Swiss mountain inn: "Special today - no ice cream".
