Letters Around The World

A sign in India.

There are letters of the alphabet everywhere. They are used to communicate in many different languages. These letters that we may or may not understand can become an important piece of information or even a work of art. Some may also provoke a laugh, even if they weren’t intended for that purpose. 

I have captured many letters around the world.

    Thinking about it, the eastern toilet, and western toilet really stood out. Why? Well in my mind an eastern toilet is a hole in the ground, a western toilet…….. well nothing more needs to be said. Curious. Did you peek in to see the differences or did the smell give it away? Anyway loved the post.

      I have used the Eastern toilet way too many times in this lifetime that I should’ve have hehe. Given the choice though, I would always go for western.
