Mar. 10th, 2010 11:00 pm Plot to “Love Never Dies” , a sequel to “Phantom of the Opera,” is rather silly. Wow, the character assassination of Raoul. And the romantic nature of loving your creepy stalker. And nice of the men to bet on a woman’s actions to determine their own issues. And every cliché in the book. I think I will skip it.
This series of articles is very cool - signs, maps and directions and their meanings in our lives. One article is about London and its new wayfinding system that I find personally amusing. I’ve always been very good with maps and directions to the point that when I was studying abroad others in my program relied on me in a brand new city to know where to go. So navigating London was never a problem for me, but I can see how others might be confused.
AND there is an article about how Penn station in New York is so confusing . Which is so true. I’ve lived in New York for a very long time and I’ve used Penn Station lots and lots and it still throws me sometimes. That place is such a maze. There are three different train systems and two subway systems and they technically all connect. This article has the most amusing series of pictures of one traveler trying to get to Amtrak. That is so the though process too. The problem, as the article points out is that these three train systems are not integrated in designing their signs.
Although NJ definitely has the worst signs for drivers, their U-Turns are always hidden by bushes and cause no end of trouble.
