No Reason to Get Lost


This is a street sign in China. They are very useful when there is one. The street name connected to the arrows is the street you are on. It is pointing towards the next intersection, and what two streets you will encounter if you turn right or left, and the name at the bottom of the sign is the nearest street you just came from. Unfortunately these only label the main streets, and there might be any number of tiny streets and back alleys that aren't clearly marked. When I was looking for my gym for the first time last year, I couldn't for the life of me find it, and they had to send a little Chinese girl out into the pouring rain (wearing high heels) to guide me in.
