English Translation of Main Headlines

Every shop has a door. And every door has a push/ pull sign written in Arabic. Coincidentally, the word ‘push’ is ‘edfa’ in Arabic. ‘Edfa’ literally means to ‘pay’ in Arabic. And believe it or not, the word ‘pull’ is ‘eshab’ in Arabic. ‘Eshab’ literally means ‘withdraw’ in Arabic as well. So we decided to hijack the doors of every shop, we can find by placing the ‘With Visa’ sticker on the push and pull signs. So whenever you enter to buy something, you’ll be subtly reminded to ‘Pay - With Visa’ or ‘Withdraw - With Visa’.
