What did they do?

I'm sure, whatever the story was, it was funny...

There was a street play my two buddies and I saw last night in front of the Leuven city hall.  As far as I know, it was about a newly wed bride whose husband didn't show for the honeymoon, and the rest is a mystery to me.  But it was funny...

After that we left for the city square where there was another stage. On it, there were people whose hair are being 'creatively managed'.  The hairdos were outlandish and fanciful.  They also had crazy hats made of brown paper.  It reminded me of the do's on the "Wizard of Oz" and a little bit of Willie Wo

nka's Ooompa Loompas.  I imagined what the hairdressers would've done with my hair...and I came up with this...

Hahahah! I look like a court jester! I hope I would be half as funny as I look...

DISCLAIMER:  I did not go around town looking like this... I did this at home, but KIDS: don't do this at home without your parent's permission!

...there are odd-new signs and symbols everywhere

We saw a sign outside the AvNet building (the green one with the four people in the middle with arrows pointing [shooting?] at them) that we found interesting... it's something new alright, and we guessed that it's a meeting place.  

I thought, hmmm, that would be a good idea! Putting something like that would make it easier to have a common reference--a benchmark on where people could wait fo

r each other!  It reminded me of the pictures I saw in a magazine given at the airplane where, at the airport there are weird 'installations' that can be a 'meeting place' for people to go to as well. 

I think we need those alternative signs for our campus (Colle

ge of Forestry and Natural Resources) where the 'meeting places'  are tree species (ex:  the miraculous Fertility Tree [they meet there to... i explained that earlier], and the leaning Dao tree etc.) so that people would know where to MEET, right?  

But Johannes explained to me that the sign was intended for emergencies like when there is fire, that's the place where people can go because it's safe... So then, the sign is multipurpose in nature, if there's no fire or earthquake, it's available for by-standers (li

ke us).

Then... it reminded me of the signs in Manila put up by the MMDA.  I find it interesting that they would reinvent the color system of traffic and public

 symbols.  Look at the picture, what is the yellow door for?
