I was in Göteborg two days ago and had lunch at Språkcaféet. (http://www.sprakcafeet.com/) On a chair was a pillow with a Latin text on it. I could have asked the owner where she got the pillow, but I didn't. Today I googled it. It turns out that the text is from Horace, that these pillows exist all over the world and that they are made in - China! :laugh:

There are lots of labels and signs in Spanish in my city, how about in yours? :orly:
-
It's not like road signs in Spanish are hard to decipher.
In Sweden almost every road sign is in Swedish. A few are in English and even fewer are in German.

Taqueria and bodega.

Sweden has turned into a pussy country litigious. I was reading about it the other day online

:autism:
It's a pun, although I was drunk when typing that. It should be eques. Equites is the nominative plural. I still don't have the instinctive feeling for Latin that I have for English and German.
