Funny Signages on the Road
Discovering ‘awesome’ texts and graphics while traveling abroad might be one of my favorite activities. My Visual Communication background teaches me to be aware or critical of typography, logo, mascot, or whatever object I meet surrounds me.
I see simple things closely and love to analyze them, secretly critiquing café menu, signs, billboard, ads, or whatever catch my eye. I collect some catchy signs and feel guilty if I never share them in the blog sphere.
Most of this collection I found in the Netherlands, Germany, and Singapore a few years back. Are you similar to me or us?? Do you happen to love capturing ‘funny’ signs on the road? Let’s join the club.

A Coffee Addict on the Road
Wherever I go and travel I always drink multiple cups of hot coffee every day. I’d love to taste local coffee. Life feels very beautiful and perfect every time I sip my coffee, tell me I’m not the only one. I believe my fellow coffee addict around the world can relate to this!!!
Coffee in The Middle
Local Coffee in Singapore
Although there’s no coffee plantation in Singapore, they have a local coffee chain. Yakun Kaya Toast.
At Yakun Kaya Toast, I first knew how the way Singaporeans have their coffee time. It is still my favorite local coffee, I like to watch the way they serve the coffee. It is always a middle-aged Chinese man (Singaporeans called him ‘uncle’) who prepares the coffee. Never have I seen a woman or girl handle this coffee-making job, I guess it is part of their ‘branding’ since the founder is Ah Koon from Hainan, China.
In Singapore, it is very common to see people drinking sweet coffee with half-boiled eggs and Kaya Toast. The price is reasonable, around SGD 1.50 per cup.
