During the trip we stayed in Amsterdam. We also took day trips to Haarlem and Utrecht.

At the end of our visit to Haarlem, we visited the De Adriann Windmill. Continue reading Ridiculous Street Signs #28: No Dog Toilet- Haarlem, The Netherlands

I’m always looking for things to see and do around the NYC area. This could be as simple as checking out a new restaurant or visiting a park with the kids.

If public or quirky art is something you like, then a new sculpture in NYC should be high on your list of things to see if you happen to find yourself in the area. Continue reading A New NYC Attraction That I Have To See!

It’s been a really bad year for United Airlines with a wide variety of negative incidents taking place.

Now United is being blamed for a dog’s death. Continue reading Trouble Strikes Again- United Airlines Blamed For Dog’s Death

Ridiculous Street Signs #19- Dog Fouling Is Not Permitted- Malta

I’m not sure what it is but lots of funny and odd signs tend to have poop as the subject matter.

During our first day on Malta we spent our time wandering around the capital Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since we arrived in the middle of the day we figured it would be best to just head into the city with no real plans besides strolling around and getting a feel for the area.

After walking around some of the steep,  hilly streets we ended up close to the water where we had some spectacular views. We decided to keep walking along this route to see what else was around. Continue reading Ridiculous Street Signs #19- Dog Fouling Is Not Permitted- Malta

While visiting Macau I came across a couple of signs that caught my eye. They both involve man’s best friend, the dog.

The first sign has a beautiful picture of a person watching their dog pooping (fouling). Along with it was a message of a fixed fine of MOP600 (Macau Patacas, about $75US) for dog fouling. (This was a few years back so I have no clue what the fine currently is for this offense.)
