So why is this humorous? Could you translate the sign? I can't read Greek or Swahili.

To mdchachi: Look out for landslides
Hi Mike,
There's one thing you must know, I can't read Greek or Swahili too. And the way you gave this comment sounds as a considerable insult for the Danish people, because it's Danish. This is a typical American reaction, maybe an apology would be nice.

Re: To mdchachi: Look out for landslides
It was a joke, a gentle reminder that probably 90% of the views of your photo wouldn't understand it.
Even if I really mistook the sign as Greek or Swahili, how could it possibly be an insult? It would just indicate that I am stupid. How many Americans do you actually know? Before you start stereotyping people maybe you should meet a few more. Cheers, Mike
