Notice the helmet. A good safety precaution. Visit Belgium or Denmark for more head-gear.
The heap is not less important: craterlike, just as if the work is nearly finished. I can't think of another heap in the collection with such strong features.
  Gingerly probing the heap.

Note: the bottom line on the 2001-signs is missing. Except for the home-made man, all other drawings feature one.

  Gently tapping the heap.

Home made but with all the necessary elements. Straight back, leg protruding, I imagine him challenging the heap. Totally unprepared one of our former team members went to Vietnam in 1997. It didn't take long before he came upon two new signs. He got entangled in his localised stop-words (it's important to practise; see tips) and in an act of despair took pictures through the windscreen of a moving car.  
  At first I thought the pictures useless for the collection, but in another act of despair decided to give it a try. The results, although far from perfect, clearly show two other signs for Vietnam.
