I think there's more than six there.

And a very minor nitpick: It's Chernivtsi.

That having been said, I wish I could afford to travel as much as you do. :-)

What happened to July ?


Posted by Keith at December 27, 2011 03:59 AM

Ted: It is Чернівці (Chernivtsi) in Ukrainian, and Черновцы (Chernovtsy) or previously Чернови́цы (Chernovitsy) in Russian, so I was actually using an older form of the name (or something close it it) rather than an entirely wrong one. I didn't actually intend to do this (but the number of different Cyrillic spellings, and their various Romanisations does make it hard to keep straight), so I have therefore corrected it.

In truth there are so many forms of the name it is almost ridiculous. If I had known it was Cernăuți in Romanian (or should that be Moldovan?), I would have realised there was a direct bus from Balti and would have likely arrived there several hours before I ultimately did, but getting confused when travelling is half the fun.

Michael, you're slacking.

Do they sell birdseed near the statue of the unknown papparazi in Bratislava?

The slebs could have hours of fun sprinkling it round his hat.
