Yes. Clever. I never realised that. Although for road signs in Europe it is agreed that place signs directing to another country have to be written in the language of that country ( and not the local language ). So signs in the Netherlands with directions to Cologne Germany will have Köln (german) instead of Keulen (dutch) written on it.@oblomow - It's Greek to me (Ukranian to everyone else) . I've seen similar signs (but different languages ) elsewhere and always wondered why they were in the language of the country being entered rather than that of the country being entered from .
