At home, my job entails being a bit of a grammar nerd. I’m a copy perfectionist and cringe when I see misplaced apostrophes or split infinitives. But when I’m travelling in a country where English is not a first language, mistakes charm rather than annoy me. After all, my Hindi / Arabic / Thai / Spanish / etc. is not exactly flawless (it’s pretty non-existent!).

So, like many travellers, I collect photos of signs. This one, and the building it decorates, is just lovely.

Bring all your dirty cloths here.
