I’ve just realised that — so far — I’ve been in four countries, spanning four language families (Finno-Ugric / Romance / Slavic / Greek) and three different alphabets in a row!
No surprise that I feel so confused …
A note to our fellows western travellers: I’m sorry, but you can’t beat the Old Continent!
there’no need to travel a lot to see such pearls:
in a menu in a pizzeria we have noticed:
– woodka
– speak (it was meant speck)
– whiskie
– waissen (the beer)
to name a few examples.
whereas the prices of a good pizza ranged from 8 to 10 euros… but it was good.
