In case you ever had any doubt about what to do with tissue paper then this piece of advice, spotted in Iraqi Kurdistan, should help you out.

Odd-sounding English-language signs, names and slogans in foreign countries always make me giggle – clearly I am never going to grow up.
One company name caught my eye repeatedly while I was in the Kurdish north of Iraq over the past few weeks.

Arcelik, a leading Turkish household appliance manufacturer, has outlets and billboards advertising its services all over the region.
I also liked the look of this small store with big ideas.

As it happens, I’ve similarly been on the receiving end of the translation joke. As a university student in Japan, I found out that my name means “fatso” in Japanese.
A standard introduction would go something like this: “Hajimemashite, Debu desu”, which translates as: “Let me introduce myself, my name is fatso.”
