I love this sign. Heehee! "Stop here and wait for the bell!" It's at a (smaller) post office in Curacao. It also illustrates how the island is a multicultural, multilingual environment. Papiamento, Dutch, English, and Spanish are the main ones.
One of my interviewees explained that there are novelty tambu songs in English and Dutch. Tambu is also present in Venezuela, among other places. It has a different name and there are some other differences I won't get into. My point is that there is tambu in Spanish, too.
