  1. It seems like a cow to me. :rolleyes:

    Ah, this picture made me remember something. Two weeks ago I went with a friend to a Märklin model train shop in 's Hertogenbosch! It was cool to see model trains similar to what we've been seeing here in person. :D





    Nice number sign!

  2. There's one in Utrecht too, I should go there some time. I probably won't buy anything, though, as that is an expensive hobby to get into, and I already have way too many hobbies. :rolleyes: (although if you're smart about it and enjoy repairing trains too, you might be able to actually make money off it)


    I thought this was apparel, but it is apparently a 'gun sack'. :p I didn't know those were a thing!

  3. Ah, cool! I'll keep that in mind, and go with him to there some time too! :D It can indeed be a very expensive hobby, that's also why I won't buy anything. :p

    :D

  6. Apparently, 17385 is the name of a tour of the band Grass Hopper... Or, I think.
    Most of the text is in asian characters. Since no fully round characters are used (In Japan, the の character, which is important for grammatical stuff in the Hiragana alphabet, which is the one that looks like Chineese, is a dead giveaway. Korian uses a lot of small circles.) it's most-likely chineese, which it looks like on first impression too. jet, some of the characters are too complex, or they seem to me, to be the communist party's approved simplefied Chineese, which has to be used in all of China, which leads me to think it either Vietnameese or Hong Kong, which are the only countries that still officially use the old Chineese character set.





    EDIT: A better google search (I had tried it before) confirms the band is from Hong Kong. Yay :)

  7. Hmm, interesting! I went about it a different way: the poster says HKD 380 and MOP 380. HKD = Hong Kong dollar, MOP = Macau pataca, and they're both the same worth. Cotai Arena (previously known as Venetian Arena) is somewhere in Macau. :) The text saying "Hotel and ferry packages available" can point back to Hong Kong, as Macau can be reached by ferry from Hong Kong. :)

  8. I did not know that, interesting! :)

  9. Neither picture is too original, but both are a bit pleasing. :) I wonder how many of those paint cans there are. We've been coming across them for ages!
