Signage around the world works on the principle of "Symbolic Reasoning" whereby humans are the only species on planet earth able to give special meaning to a piece of metal or plastic with letters on it.

Perpetual Traveller has complied few collection of funny signs from different countries and places, just to convince you that craziness is common and shared in every country!

World's First Eco Island!

The Tokelau group of islands in the South Pacific has recently began running on solar power, becoming the first nation operating through sustainable means.

Located in the Western Polynesian tropical moist forests region, Tokelau enjoys sunshine all year round, which makes solar installations well-suited for the area.

New solar panels will replace the 2,000 barrels of diesel, annually used by the island's 1,400 residents, and additional energy will be harvested in the form of bio fuel made from local coconuts!

We may as well call them "Coconut Islands"! It's just more suitable!

All jokes aside though, this is a great development and we hope we can see the expansion of this achievement in the near future for the sake of all humanity.

Free Flight Tickets Were Given out by United Airlines


You ever wanted to have free holidays? 

United Airlines started offering flight tickets at the price of... $0!. Of course this was a mistake that was corrected by the airlines but till that time, several customers had the opportunity to book flights at zero cost.

At the same time, the airline company can not estimate how many free tickets were given out.
The specific tickets were sold last Thursday through its online booking system and what is more, many of them were for destinations such as Hawaii.

However despite the mistake, the company executives decided to let the lucky passengers who had managed to book tickets to travel for free!

Europe Slammed by its own Latest Poll!


Paradoxically, EU people and non-EU people seem to have one thing in common; lack of trust in the European Union.

Traditionally, Britain was always the most consistently Euro-skeptic country within the EU. Since the recent raft of Bail-Outs, that has now changed.

According to the most recent survey conducted in the UK, a shocking 68% of UK citizens don't trust the EU, however that number is even greater in Cyprus, Spain, Greece, Portugal and even more.

Just to get an idea, a worrying 83% of Cypriot citizens say they do not trust the EU decisions. It's not surprising that the vicious Troika cocktail of austerity, doom and gloom which has been forced on the unsuspecting people of the EU bail-out countries is deeply unpopular.

Interestingly, the Poll of 32,000 people across a section of people within the Euro-zone was paid for by Brussels. 

The unpleasant and revealing results for the unpopular European Commission were semi concealed, as they were not featured in any Press Release. Instead, they were camouflaged within a boring 200 page report giving the full details. Such reports are rarely read by the Public.

Despite the distasteful effects of the Bail-Outs leading to war-time like conditions in countries like Greece, large food banks for the poor, increased crime, shocking unemployment levels (especially for the young), street riots and the fear of anxiety for the population at large, the social tank of the EU carries on regardless. 

All of this while the EU commissioners seemingly show NO empathy or compassion for the destruction caused by the Euro and the exchange mechanism to southern European communities.
