Weekly Photo Challenge: Signs

October 4, 2014 · by · in Misc., Weekly Photo Challenges · 2 Comments

In the medieval town of Bhaktapur in central Nepal there was a toilet door in an inn. Amongst the usual suspects of language describing what was beyond the portal  was a small sign that said “Leithreas”.

This is Gaelic – the indigenous language of Ireland – where John hails from!

 

Wonder what's behind the magic door

    I can do the Korean translation. Maybe this is cheating but ‘whajangshil’ is toilet.

    Thanks Erica. I now know probably the most important word in Korean. This was the first word we memorized in Laotian,Khmer,Mandarin,Thai,Vietnamese,Nepalese and Bahasian Indonesian!
