Multilingual sign

You learn a lot about a place by the signs they put up that they want everybody to read. That shows who really lives there, which is often different than people's impressions.

In Seattle, it's been English, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Tagalog for ever. 3-4 years ago Russian was added, and two years ago Spanish was added.

In Germany, it was German, English, French, Spanish, Greek and Turkish.

Here, it's English and I don't even know what the other languages are.
