But am I the only one who thinks that you shouldn't really be surprised to see Portuguese translations (Poupe Água) in what I assume is Macau? It is, after all, one of their official languages.

The first was at a park of some sort and the second was outside a hotel. Go figure.

I assumed that the no hawking one was asking people not to spit. You know, hacking and then spitting?<BR/><BR/>Now I think about it, 6 months in prison for hacking up a bit of spit seems a bit harsh...

"Perambulator" is simply a babby carriage, buggy, whatever you want to call it. It's where the word "pram" comes from. It's a bit archaic, but none the less legitimate for it.<br /><br />Thanks!

I didn't blink an eyelid at that sign. Perhaps the real problem is that hawking is dead in the U.S., not that Hong Kong has got it wrong. Is the word ‘hawker’ really dead?
