Laughing is not Allowed

Irreverent joking and laughter is not allowed at the Cambodian Genocide Museum. This ought to go without saying.

In the Dunkin Donuts near the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, Germany, there's a sign about not leaving your trash in the memorial :(

I agree. When I was there, our tour guide told us how he was conducting a tour many years ago, and an Asian businessman was walking around the premises with two prostitutes on his arm, pointing and laughing at some things on the grounds. I guess some people just aren't aware of Cambodia's dark history and need to be told outright.

This is from Wikipedia user Paxse.

Fascinating translation request

Thank you, that was a very interesting piece of research.

Ok, This photo is a mixture of three different types of media. The top one is a common sign probably posted by the Tuol Sleng museum. The cross over the mouth gives the meaning quite clearly. The text says simply "Please be quiet". The larger poster below is from the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia and is part of their public awareness campaign about the Khmer Rouge Tribunal. After spending time carefully translating line by line :P - I had a brainwave and found the English and Khmer versions on the Tribunal website www.eccc.gov.kh/english/popup.image.aspx?imgU rl=./cabinet... here. If you have pop-ups blocked you will have to go www.eccc.gov.kh/english/publications.poster.a spx here and click on the poster at top left for a larger version. The poster also has two copies of the same square sticker www.eccc.gov.kh/english/publications.sticker. aspx stuck on it. Cheers, User:Paxse 10:13, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
