natjtan Part 1 of Nerdy Stuff You Notice Travelling was all Californian information signs. Part 2 of Nerdy Stuff You Notice Travelling is Oahu, Hawaii information signs, general signs and notices.
Star Wars droidesque parking meter
Just like the Cali ones and info signs all over the world, in the shortest, most concise way information signs let us know what we can and can’t do in all languages with or without words. No sh*t Nat! The psychology behind them is something too. Designers know we don’t look up walking or only a little head. Picture info signs can leave you guessing alternate situations to what they want to say or meanings lost as your imagination runs a little wild. When it’s Hawaii that mystical place that does exist when you get there, none of this matters as it’s Hawaii. All signs, notices, parking meters are just cool.

Pinch me I’m in Hawaii beers. I initially thought these were cat food. Cat food always has a cute happy cat on the label. Does this beer do something else? Pussy Grabs Back. Defo not cat food. Sunshine Wit Haze, Belgian Style Wit too. I don’t drink so I never found out.
Wet floor sign. Honolulu International Airport 
If in doubt, don’t go out. North Shore, Oahu
Reserved. I loved the stencil letters I saw on quite a few signs. Added to the island feel. I’ve also noticed back in Barcelona more businesses are going back to hand painted signs and murals. 
The Pillbox Hiking trial, right, straight ahead, Oahu. I’ve just noticed the hiking figure
That’s nice you did. The Pillbox hike, Oahu
The Pillbox hiking trail, pill box 1
Technically not an info sign. Waikiki Beach surfboard storage
Nobody obeyed the diamond. Most obey the blue rectangle. Noodles while whale watching’s okay as food is permitted.

Manoa Falls Trail, Oahu 
The trail is 
Ditch Witch, B*tch. Say that 10 times 
Hand model 
Selfies, selfies, selfies. If you want a photo of the waterfall, get there early before the selfies and soundtrack walkers (I felt bad for those that had to listen to 2 guys music all the way up. Thankfully we left as they arrived). The cliff face rock behind the waterfall is beautiful. So many faces. The shelf like formations with various plants growing add a little extra magic.
The coolest no dumping sign I saw all holiday. It looks however like the fish is hungry. Feed me.
Another parking meter almost smiling in a Star Wars droidesque manner

[…] throw throw waste/residue down popping up in the city centre, like I noticed in California and Hawaii. Maybe someone in the Barcelona council was inspired by a USA […]
