Die Miniermotte gibts also auch schon in Belgien.

ja, gibt es. und viel sorge, da die belgier große kastanienliebhaber sind und viele straßen in brüssel kastanienbestanden sind. gruß, christian

that was funnily plastered to this traffic sign right next to the entrance of a popular food market ;-) ... when I passed it days later, only the glue was left, probably the birds got it. cheers from belgium, christian

... sieht neben der Miniermotte irgendwie nach Frankophobie aus?

LupusBXL, on June 28, 2007, said:

;-) ganz sicher nicht: Brüssel ist ja vorwiegend frankophon and sicher auch frankophil: halt ein Gag, der auf den genau daneben stattfindenden Markt hinweisen sollte ... bei dem es nicht nur Baguettes gibt ;-)

... war auch nicht ganz ernst gemeint, aber es gibt Völker, die mögen sich mehr als Franzosen und Belgier (auch frankophile).

LupusBXL, on July 18, 2007, said:

;-) vordergründig schon richtig: die frankophonen belgier geben nicht gern zu, daß sie doch immer wieder richtung frankreich schielen ...

... nicht, dass die frankophonen Belgier auch so ein Völkchen mit zwei Seelen wie die Deutschen (Goethe, Faust I: "... Zwei Seelen wohnen, ach! in meiner Brust! ..." sind ... ;-)

LupusBXL, on July 21, 2007, said:

;-) zwei? mindestens ... die haben's einfach noch schwerer als deutschen, nehmen's aber leichter ;-)

Probably doesn't "say enough" about the place. Hey, it shows what Belgian traffic signs look like with bread stuck to them. :)

guys, that's how panoramio works sometimes ... could basically agree that it may apparently not 'say enough' about the place. but actually, I believe it says a lot about the place: was stuck to this traffic sign right next to the entrance of a popular food market, displays a preferred sort of bread in belgium, and shows the vicious horse-chestnut leaf miner at work ... okay, it is a fun pic, but hey: no fun in panoramio? :-) cheers, christian

by the way, guys: I managed to get reviewed for GE ... and it was now accepted ;-)

Ha, that is hilarious! But what does it mean? No entry unless you're a baguette?

funny sign! :D thanks for sharing!

I love Belgium, in Brussels city I seen one more funny sign!

But in my home country I seen similar with Your 'no entry' sign idea.

jhk: ur guess could be correct ;-) ... as I said above, it was a traffic sign at the entrace of a popular food market ... ainars: thanks for sharing the two links: I really loved them, especially the home-made Latvian stuff! you both: have a good start into 2008! cheers, christian
