Signs and Pictograms from Around the World
I often notice signs and pictograms as I travel the world that is quite different from those we might see here in the U.S. Why do I notice signs? I have no idea but I get a kick out of them none the less.

Ask for ice water and you will get bottled water (warm, not refrigerated), ask for water and you will get heated warm water in a teacup. Hell, even the beer is served at room temperature!
