There was a big article in the Saturday Telegraph about another beauty icon, Catherine Deneuve now aged 62, it got me to thinking when I first saw her in a movie?
Way back in my Navy days, my ship was on a ship visit in Tokyo in 1968! My god, all that time ago! One of the many ‘time killers’ that was always used till the bars opened, was a movie run. Tokyo in 1968, with very little of anglicised (if that is the right word) signage, was certainly a strange place; but a place that I was to destined to visit and enjoy again some 5/6 more times over the coming 15 years, more on that in another posting perhaps.
However for my friends from Boston who are about to struggle out of the weekend snow drifts and make their first visit to Japan here is a little ‘Subway Signage’ that seems to mean one thing to the Japanese and another to me!
However what it really means is; from left to right:
-
Person with injured arm
-
Person holding a child
-
Pregnant woman
-
Person with injured leg
Laugh, my socks fell off!!
