Sometimes I wonder if I've moved to Shanghai! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the correction on the name of that ON town. There was another place called Shale something... so I thought it was some sort of stone.
this is usually the fist sign i look for when i'm in a new city. sometimes, my nose would lead me to Chinatown--i smell fried rice!:p

Yes, Toronto is definitely multi-cultural and this sign is a good example. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were not in the driver's seat for this one!
ReplyDeleteI like bilingual signs. I have to hunt for those around my area.
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say, I am totally at home with bilingual signs. Glad you weren't driving when you shot this, Andy. And speaking of multiculturalism, check out my friend Ruth's multicultural calendar of events site and accompanying blog. ;-)
ReplyDeleteFrancisca , bilingual signs are common across Canada except in the province of Quebec.
ReplyDeleteI've often wondered if the Chinese is the same as what it says in English - or are they having a good laugh?
ReplyDeleteWe have hardly any bilingual signs here in Oregon. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteWe have no bilingual signs here in Lexington that I know of, but we do have a good sized Mexican food section in the grocery stores. And heaven only knows where the closest China Town is to us. Do I see you shooting the photo? I think I do.
ReplyDeleteI like bilingual sign, unfortunately none in my town, but in Liverpool's Chinatown all the street signs are bilingual.
ReplyDeleteOne of the great things about living in a REAL city. We hope to visit your area someday.
ReplyDeleteNot where I live now, but lots when I was residing near Washington, DC. I think the different languages add so much interest to a city.
ReplyDeleteThe Chinese and Filipinos have something in common - they're practically everywhere :) Toronto is one city I dream of visiting one day.

Hehehehe I thought this photos is in China!! Toronto indeed is multi-cultural place, I have friends who lived there and it's not just one but many! Happy Thursday!

Norway has very few bilingual signs. Actually, the few we do have are mostly located around the major airport outside of Oslo. Even Oslo has hardly any, and that always surprises me.
ReplyDeleteI can see you taking the photo in the rear view mirror :-) Nice one!
