    The umlaut tells me there are metal citizens over there, so I think I want to go right.

    Some of those signs don’t have the translation underneath.

    I see those and think, “Well yeah, I could eat a burger”

      As a vegan American traveling in Mexico there were a couple times I got frustrated and ended up just getting an Impossible burger from some hipster looking place, but it did make me feel American as fuck.

          With my non-vegan wife’s family it was shockingly difficult to find even that. Though Mexican food is dead easy to cook vegan at home, people there barely understand vegetarianism let alone veganism. Things are often cooked in animal fat, meat broth, etc.

            Damn Mexicans don’t know anything about Mexican food!

              That’s obviously not what I’m saying. Have any of you ever been to Mexico? Do you even speak Spanish? Maybe keep your fucking mouth shut if you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.

      Well, the funny bit is that the “All passports” side will also accept EU passports, so if you have an EU passport and the “EU Citizens” side has a line and the other doesn’t (which, granted, tends to be rare), you can go to the “All passports” side.

        However that line is much longer, as the processing of each person takes longer to process.

        I did it once while distracted and the immigration guy just looked at me with a Wtf face and said, you know you can go there, right? And waived me through.

        I feel like in the US, the sign would say “all passports” but everyone would tacitly understand it excludes US passports.

    My first time traveling internationally, I was by myself at Gatwick airport. I saw the signs with arrows pointing one way for “UK, Channel Islands, and EU” and another way for “All Other Countries” or something like those. I misunderstood that as being for what your destination was, like people simply connecting in London on their way to some other part of the world, but not leaving the airport, needed to follow the second sign. It was only as I got into the lines that I realized the difference was not the destination but what paper you carried. I think since then in other countries I’ve seen them explicitly include “Passports” on those signs, which is clearer.
