One of the simple joys of life in Africa is the wonderful storefronts and signs that you meet everywhere. I have been keeping a photo file of some of my favorites, and they are here for your enjoyment. I plan to keep this as a link on the sidebar, and update it whenever I feel I have found another hall-of-famer. Hopefully John will soon post his similar collections of matatu decals.

Wal-Mart Complex Shopping
For the record, "Moran" is a feared Maasai warrior. But still...
What exactly do you think goes on at this place?
Hilarious Mascot General Stores
Awesome African school names.
Excellent Obama Fashions
Click to enlarge. The fine print is "The Best Nyama Choma (grilled meat) in East & Central Africa & Asia."
Beware the Baboon Menace.
Bipartisanship. McCain's state and Obama's mug.
If they had spelled it "Candy Shoppe", it would have been perfect.
How would you define "Anti-Natal"?
On the Tenwek Hospital grounds
If we only we had his skills, think of the impact!
For sale in the same town as the Lazarus Funeral Home. The misspelling of "arthritis" is maybe my favorite part.
A chicken coop just down the hill
Alright - Kapsowar is well represented!!!
ReplyDeleteI like how they threw in Asia, just in case East and Central Africa wasn't enough... :)

This was so funny! Living overseas we have gotten to see some great stuff, so this is hitting a funny bone.

The funeral home makes me smile the most...Mariah
ReplyDeleteThose signs are hilarious. I guess after being in Africa so long, we don't notice them anymore. But with a fresh look, it's so entertaining!
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud at the Lazarus Funeral Home. It has my vote.
