Roadsign spotting is not easy and it becomes all the
more difficult without a vehicle at your disposal. It's just plain
frustration on a line bus. No free sight up front; driver won't stop; people's
head and shoulders in the way; a blinding glare on the windowpane; you name it.
Our people on the field are fast and in most conditions succeed in bringing back
some material. It happens that the roadsign is really too blurred. It
also happens that the sign is not there, or only a tiny corner. But not often.
And image software becomes more powerful every day. But I digress.
The children's signs of Ethiopia, exactly like the Men at Work, resemble
more the roadsigns from South-America (e.g. Bolivia) than from
the neighbours on the same continent. I wonder why. Considering the
country's history I would have expected more influence from European designs. |
