Signs That in Asia, I am

One of the things that any native English-speaking person will notice in Asia is an abundance of funny signs.

Finally, I bought a beautiful Korean liquor bottle that sits on my widow sill here. It is actually Traditional Koeran Liquuor, which, I hear, teetotalling Moslems abhor.
