Not "Lost in Translation"
Driver's ed manuals in many languages at the PV main library.
Ah, reminds me of a recent incident. On vacation I got myself a local map for the city of Malmö and noticed - too late - that I had managed to pick the right map in the wrong language.
...but....doesn't it make you wonder if they can read the signs they need to know in ENGLISH!!Pet peeve of mine...learn the language if you are here...but then that is just my humble opinion.....:)

That's really interesting I love little details like this. It says a lot about your community.
My hubby pointed out that the original image was too small so I've uploaded the photo differently. You can click to enlarge and maybe that will help.
I like how you can get a wonderful photo from a simple subject!
Perfect for getting around in any language!
What about the French!!!
this makes me pause to think about what language our road signs are in!
I wonder how many people actually read them? :-)
Might be one of the reasons the people at the DMV are so cranky.

That is classic! I love it.
