This strange plant does not exist only in Namibia. It can be found in Angola too.
As a matter of fact, it was in Angola that this plant was studied for the first time, by the Austrian botanist Friedrich Welwitsch, who lived in the 19th century and worked for the Portuguese government. His work was so important that the plant was named after him.

The "traffic circle" is what everyone else in the world calls a "roundabout", and it's a common traffic junction pretty much everywhere (except, aparently, the USA). They're only put in places where three or more roads meet, and are a much more efficient junction than T junctions or crossroads, etc.
In this case, it's blindingly obvious that there was an additional road on the left that's since been landscaped away - look at the dent in the grass. It's not worth digging up the entire roundabout, so they left it there with only two exits.
Could you really not work this out?

"Meters" is _not_ abbreviated "t". That sign actually means "no vehicles carrying explosives over 30 tons", the 30 tons referring to the entire vehicle of course, not the explosives.

The firt weird sign could be translated as "Do not get close of this if you are wearing a peacemaker" it could be some kind of machinery emitting Micro-waves.
As the second anonymous said these kind of traffic junctions are also usual in Spanish roads and streets.

The one with a heart, a lead, and a red circle with a line through it is, I believe, a "if you have a pacememaker, don't enter this area" type sign.

Yes, "anonymous", we do have traffic circles, roundabouts, rotaries, here in the US, mostly
in the East.

"No pacemakers?" I could have sworn it was "no tugging at heartstrings."
Read more
-
Lol... "Do not get close of this if you are wearing a peacemaker"
^- I guess there'd be a gun on the sign then...
No, really, it's a warning for ppl with artificial cardiac pacemakers because there could be interferences (electromagnetic fields) in the area that might hinder the pacemaker from working correctly.
Usually this problem has to do with large magnets, but it even a hairdryer can be problematic...
thx for your patients... erm... patience

The "no pacemaker" sign is not only common in Asia, but also in Europe (well, at least in Germany). At my college it's often seen together with signs like "High Magnetic Fields" and "no credit cards, keys or other stuff like that". Can't find links to show you the pictures, though.

Just about a month and a half ago, I was changing freeways when I noticed that the people in the lane I was merging into were driving really slowly. So I look to see what's up and in front of the lead car is... a wheel, rolling along. Okay. I make the merge and keep my eyes open. I see in the rear view mirror that the wheel makes it safely to the shoulder rather than falling over and creating a hazard.
So I'm driving down the road and FIVE MILES LATER I see a pickup pulled off to the side of the road minus one rear wheel. Did they not notice?

No... wait... it was nine miles, not five. I clocked it the next day, out of curiosity.

Well, anyone depicting nazi regalia in combination with the german "black red golden" flag is outing himself as ignorant jerk. Black red gold where the national colors of Germany BEFORE the third reich and AFTER - but are quite the opposite of a nazi flag (which had to be black white red).

Yeah, the Mont St-Michel IS definitely a place to visit, especially at dawn and/or dusk.
I've been there three or four times I think, but as I grew up, my vision of the Mont changed drastically.
It's huge and at the same time so confined, but each time mind blowing. Also lately they installed new lightings at the base of the abbaye, they look marvelous.
Oh and you can sign up for walks starting on the shore, that leads you through the bay to the Mont. You have to be guided cause it's a common place known for its quicksands. But it's really worth it.

Squirrell Special Needs:
When I was a child, my mother rescued and raised 2 squirrells. We nearly lost both of them (we did loose one) at about 2 years of age because they were not getting enough potassium in their diet. The one we saved lived to the age of 5. You can contact me at the email address of "noxbestia@" via gmail.com if you want to know more about our experiences.
