Foreign Signs

Some signs from Taipei.

Maybe Tapas are taking over the world, but Taiwan small snacks( called xiao chi) have nothing to worry about.

"Mr Onion" is a French restaurant in Taipei and I know Charles de Gaulle had a large nose, but this pushes the stereotype.

This a sign for a shoe store that sells real leather shoes. The word for "cow" in Chinese is "niu" probably sounds like "neu" in "La Neu" with a French accent.

And Italian shoes are very good, it's clever how they have put high heels "sole to sole" to get the symbol for love.

The only "LaGuardia" I know is the airport in NYC, but there is a chain of sandwich shops through out Taiwan called "LaGuardia". Why? I don't know.

I know that:

1. Real men don't eat quiche.

2. Real programmers don't use Pascal.

3. Real computers support a C compiler.

But I'm not sure if real men could go to a boutique. Maybe in this metrosexual age maybe I'm wrong, probably.
