Sidhartha Restaurant nr Munich


This confusing sign is opposite the toilet door in an Indian Restaurant nr Munich. The restaurant is called Sidhartha - (that being the actual name of the Buddha if you didn't know - Sidhartha Guatama [Sidhartha was born (c. 563 BC; Kapilavastu, Nepal) into the Gautama family of the Shakaya clan].

The translation which I have misplaced somewhere is something along the lines of 'gas collection point, keep door closed' Perhaps somebody can let me know...

Oh, and yes I know the door is also labelled 'Kitchen' in Spanish, but it is not the kitchen!

Snow Monkeys




Only just got back to Brisbane - couldn't resist putting a few pictures of the Japanese Snow Monkeys (Macaac) near Yudanaka/Shibu Onsen, where we stayed in a traditional inn (Ryokan). Now there are a few hundred pictures to sort through for the DVD!
