Wow! Great shots. Many of them look like they should be post cards. I'm not sure if it was language translation/grammatical error or a choice of fonts, but I found the Sleep Slop Slow Down sign humorous. Before anyone here starts to think what a stupid mistake that is, keep in mind the errors some of our largest companies have made over the years like GM having difficult time selling the old Chevy Vega in South America only to find out after two years that Vega in Spanish means no-go. Unfortunately for GM, that was also a fairly accurate description of the Vega. I retired from a major airline that made an error in on-board signage when we first started service to Japan. The Japanese characters over the exit doors that we thought meant exit actually meant something like entrance to hell. That was embarrassing. It took a couple of months to replace all the signage on the aircraft that traveled to Japan.

Thanks for sharing your terrific photos.

That was the NOVA, not the Vega.
