I just came on to say that I am most probably in the minority here. I find the new signs less clear and legible. The letters are not spaced apart enough I think. I also don't like the little swoops at the bottom of the letters. I find them annoying and gratuitous, not in fact helpful for me. I don't want "pretty", when I'm panicking in the middle of some strange land, at some serious junction, late for something. I want blocky and bold, and apparently old. However, I'm quite sure I'll get over it.
I like listening to Air, Thievery Corps, Massive Attack, Mazzy Star, Led Zepp, System Of A Down, Cash, Dylan, and on and on. I mean, am I in the mood to rock, relax, have a story told to me, get nostalgic for my teen-hood, or just zone?
/I used to drive around in a convertible Corvette blasting opera music in college. Had a Mohawk/have multiple piercings and tattoos. That was a fun game.
Incidently after listening to One Night In Bangkok via YouTube, check out One Night In Beijing. It's a very entertaining and mind-bending song in it's own right.
