English signs of the Olympic capital… Would you understand?

Stuffs ’round the clock

Sochi engligh signs: Foodstuffs 'round the clock

Sorry for the poor picture quality, I was in a hurry.

Hocus-Focus

Sochi english signs: Magic of Focuses

Eh? Name of the store is Magic of Tricks. «Focus» in Russian also means hocus-pocus / trick.
Where? Adler, center.

Corrected!

Yay! This, initially incorrect sign, was spotted to be later corrected. Kudos to the responsible ppl! :)

The throughput mode

Eh? Sign in some school (apparently), requesting visitors to display ID document because of the increased crime rate. Would you understand this text?

Bus stop sign

Eh? This one’s actually Ok, It’s a name of the bus stop («Khlebozavod»; means «bakery plant»). But I guess it may confuse a foreign visitor. In any case, this is how bus stop names are presented here — just so you know what this is :)

Btw, if you have experience with traveling to non-English speaking countries with bi-lingual signs, do you find it better/more useful when the names of streets, districts, buildings, etc. are translated or transliterated?

Raid ’em!
