Planning a trip overseas? Why not visit Molvania???
Edited on Mon Dec-20-04 02:10 PM by XNASA
MOLVANIA - A land untouched by modern dentistry.

http://www.jetlagtravel.com/molvania/index.html


Svetranj locals gather each year on the 6th of June to celebrate the Feast of the Lopsided Saints.


LANGUAGE

Molvanian is a difficult language to speak, let alone master. There are four genders: male, female, neutral, and the collective noun for cheeses, which occupies a nominative sub-section of its very own.

Example:

'Can I drink the water? '

becomes 'Erkjo ne szlepp statsik ne var ne vladrobzko ne '
(literally, ‘is it not that the water is not not undrinkable?’)

Fortunately, conversational Molvanian for the native speaker is a little less formal, and a native speaker wanting to know

'Can I drink the water? '

would only have to say ‘Virkum stas?’
(while clutching their stomach in a gesture of gastric distress.)

2. I thought Latin was bad...
They have a special declination just for cheeses?

Does the cheese talk back to them? If so, will it talk to me if I visit there? I might be inclined to learn a fourth language if the cheese and I can have a conversation!

Zou Kow Bow Beach---- This stunning beach, with what is regarded as the whitest sand in the world, was formed last century by the rare combination of global warming and a huge spill from a tanker carrying laundry bleach.
