Mews part 2: 'Lost in Translation'

Please look closely on these 2 pictures below, especially the words on the green sign....we've got them while we're wondering around Jakarta using teleport to spot another bizarre in humans world. So, this time, the mews is a non-cat related coz we wanna check out humans behavior.
p.s. halte means stopping place for public vehicles and the next words after halte function to explain the particular area.

HALTE: PLY OVER


HALTE: PLY OFER

The real story we over heard from mommy: many people filed a complain for the typo error on the first picture, so the relevant authorities took actions by correcting the "PLY OVER" by changing the sign with the new one as shown on second picture.

See...how humans intertwining in their own language, unlike us!

Humans are sometimes not very smart unlike us, we are always smart! That is why we must help them.

My Mommie is glad that your Mommie also wishes to start a non-profit cat shelter. My Mommie is going to sends you an email with lotsa information!

Beans are funny. They say we's can't talk but we do.

Thank you for stoppings by, we thinks you all are furry pretty.

That's what made human interesting... haha. Sometimes I wondered if those beans who write words do really understand what they are writing.

My encounter was real hilarious. How could beans write "TOLET" instead of the normal "TOILET"? Don't you think it a vast difference in both? :P

Humans are strange, aren't they? It's as if they don't understand their own languages. I'm glad we kitties don't have that problem! *smile*

Purrs and snuggles from Marilyn!

Yep - beans don't make much sense sometimes! They're funny.

That's hilarious. I sincerely hope that someone who knows how to spell the name of the Halte is sent to correct the sign next time.

Beans are funny! It is not uncommon however to see a mixing up of words in various lanuages. Sometimes a word for something exists in one language both not another...it is funny however to see the mixing up of words, when such a word for an action, exists in both languages.

Hi Meaouwy Troops,

My bean asked me to stop by to find out if we can chat on my Monday, your Tuesday instead? Sundays are a little crazy, my boyfriend conducts the church choir, for two back to back services, We then do our shopping for the week, so we are usually gone from 9:30 in the morning until around 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon. Needless to say by the time I logged on it would probably be pretty late your time...Let me know if my Mon, your Tues will work!
