During the year, every so often we'd see something unusual that reminds you that you are in a foreign country. If I had the camera, I'd try to snap a picture. Here are some of those assorted pictures from the past year....
Right by my office there is a building with this sign. What the heck is "jorkyball?" It doesn't even have a very French sound to it.
Food shacks vary tremendously from place to place as this snailmobile shows. I don't think he'd see many customers in the US.
We see a lot of bad ads here. Here Quick jumps on the spiderman bandwagon in a disgusting looking ad. Bleech!
and you get the names where you wonder if they checked their English
A block away from us is a bar called "Le Spleen."
What do you think of this house sir? Excellent floorplan and location, just one minor nit. There's a gigantic billboard in your front yard.
The floor numbering in Europe can be confusing at first. The first floor is our second floor. The ground floor is 0 and so on. I guess it is better than buttons like "mezz" but is this kind of arrangement helpful?
Then we sometimes see signs of our friends
For fans of Red Hat Linux, why not work on this street?
Finally, the French love to poke fun at the Germans, and why not? As a temporary France resident, here's two pictures of mine from Germany that make me smile. Ha ha! Those Germans!
Dangerous Street...

Is it coincidence that D.U.M.P. follows Spiderman Burger? DUMP and Fahrtgasse are my favourites, which tells you where my mind is. :-)
