Short journal · Original editorial · Ordinary travel notes
A sign uses a word the traveller does not recognise.
A place is more than a list of landmarks. A small public detail can make a travel note precise without turning strangers into characters. Separate what you observed from what you imagined, and leave room for the place to change.
Record the word accurately and verify its meaning later.
Do not confuse a tidy description with a useful result. Look at what the next reader or participant can actually do.
