Some Bali Signs Can Make You Smile

[ronb]

Makes you ask, who authorizes this changer - and when do you need to change your monkey.

This one is on the main road to Bedugul and SIngaraja in the village of Luwus just south of the Pertamina fuel stop. There is another in Kuta which has been blogged about

and it has the same sign.

Today's exchange rate: A Monkey = 1kg Banana :lol:

And this internet cafe on Jalan Uluwatu.

The boss should put sign on the door "Women Do Not Enter"

 

[ronb]

And this internet cafe on Jalan Uluwatu.

Hey! that's a gem - wonder what they were thinking?

I think they were not thinking at all.... or maybe too much :shock:

 

[mimpimanis]

Well does make you wonder what they are surfing on the net....??/

However someone said Wank is a common Chinese name, so that could explain it.???

Haven't got a picture of it but I crack up every time I'm behind one of the trucks:

EL PE JI

Should stand for Liquid Propane Gas or LPG for short :lol:

Or the aptly named Knalpot (muffler/silencer)

 

[gilbert de jong]

:lol: both signs and the LPG truck comment are very very funny.
btw, the word 'Knalpot' is dutch from back in the day. guess that got stuck for whatever reason? same as kabel, rem and lots more.
ronb, have you ever seen that big sign right side of the road, when entering Lovina-area from the west...it says "HIDE DRUGS" in enormous letters :lol: , when I am down there I will take a pic of it and post it here.
friendly greetings, gilbert,

There is a transport guy in Kuta who has a kijang with a large sticker across his front window.
It reads MR F..k. Just the sort of car you would want the family to tour around in..hah hah

Does anybody read or understand the small print written underneath the "Authorised Monkey Changer"?

Perhaps not - and you all think it is a spelling mistake for 'money'.
The small print says "Humor Gaya Joger" which means "Humour - Joger style". So the mistake is intentional after all. And considering the company sells T-Shirts and other souvenirs with 'funny' slogans, it is not surprising that it has a sign like that.

 

[gilbert de jong]

maybe the spelling mistake isn't monkey-money but joger-joker :lol:

 

[grover]

My favorite was always

Antiques
Made to Order

Once I saw a sign on the middle of the ricefields in Kutu Kajah Ubud saying

TIDAK DI JUAL

I am still laugthing thinking about that sign!!!
of course many pieces of ricefields around that sign already has gone on that road
By the way, I love the Joger sentences (uhhhhhh I don´t know the word en english, frases??? sentencias??? writings???)
The antiques´s one is very good grover!!! lucu sekali!!

My current favourite is on Sunset, and it's a rather strange invite:

"Stop - makan yuuuk!" so far I have not been tempted to taste their wares, hmm - I wonder why?

 

[mimpimanis]

You mean this one

However, again I believe Yuuuk is similar to dong.

 

[orang gila]

have you ever seen that big sign right side of the road, when entering Lovina-area from the west...it says "HIDE DRUGS" in enormous letters

That's always been one of my favorite signs, and it's only 100 meters from where we are living. There used to be a similar sign near Lake Bratan but they've replaced that with a new version.



here's one from a menu that caught my eye :shock: .

 

[mimpimanis]

I said

However, again I believe Yuuuk is similar to dong.

however I have just beenn corrected... it means go ahead.... so Go Ahead and Eat!
