Monuments
or statues ?  |
 |
 |
|
| Nearly
every parc, as small as it is, has a kind of monument in the center. A construction of piled stones of any kind. Some have plants growing. |
(de)Signs
in the street  |
|
 |
| Plates
and signs are piled upon each other. Recently a stack of boards came
down on the street, I hope nobody got hurt. All the food equipment was as flat as in a cartoon and a lot of men standing around it, watching the scene. And what a nice shop did appear behind all these titles, delicate and light, with some nicely carved wooden panes. |

|
|
| Most of
the signs in the street are painted by hand. English or Hindi (Bengali
etc.) makes no difference. Some signs, like road directions or names are industrially produced. There are some habits visible, like the signs for fax/coping and international calling are mainly painted yellow background with black painted letters. Painting is done right on the street, the order could come from anyone, from docters, shopowners to buildingdepartments. |

| Rules
for hanging signs don't exist, every one can put up a sign whenever
they want. When somebody else doesn't like it, it could be taken away, but actually most people don't seem to bother. |
