I don't know the Notrilly, as I always stay at the Vajana Ritzzz Hojtl when in the area. However it sounds like you have a good deal. I only hope you were careful to pay your deposit in Strubls.

Wakuz Dro Brugka Spazibo!

Thanks L,

We paid the whole amount in USD so as to get the discount. Did I make a mistake?

How used and greasy were your dollar bills?

Hi Patrick
I was wondering why they told me "only please used dollar bills $1".

I guess that that is the usual procedure?

Ira

Having paid in US dollars, you will find that you will be subject to a very flexible floating exchange rate which will at the very least cancel out your 25% discount. This is assuming that the hotel acknowledges your deposit, which reputable establishments will do in some cases.

Next time you travel, you should get strubls in advance. You can get them from any overseas branch of Bankja Molvanîa. The U.S. branch is in Dubuque, Iowa, to service the large expatriate community there. I understand that you can also get them at a Molvanîan restuarant/grocery/cultural center in Paterson NJ, which serves the greater NYC area.

Don't forget to get your whooping cough vaccination as you sure wouldn't want to ruin your trip coughing the whole time!

I'll be leaving for Molvania in 2 weeks. I'll spent most of time in Lutenblag, but with day trips to the forest of Shilemblum for bear watching. I can't decide between renting a cell phone or buying one there. I was told that the international calls are expensive (in excess of 200 shokapeks per minute). Does anyone have 1st hand experience on this subject?

Gosh -- thanks for all the advise. So it is a lake and not the sea. That means it's probably not salt water and not being a swimmer will be a problem. I'd like to know more about the bear watching, though. Do you think we could do some trekking with a guide from our location on Lake Debrizca? Are there some good wineries to tour? (We like to visit wineries).

Zlkavszka!
Anyone who thinks this forum is not funny any more post-registration should be thrown into a Molvanian prison (which I understand are slightly more comfortable than a Molvanian 4-star hotel).

What to shop for, you ask? The tiny painted dolls made from dried donkey dung are internationally prized, as are the traditional local drinking mugs made from recycled boots.

>...the traditional local drinking mugs made from recycled boots.<

I've been told that the boots from which the drinking mugs are made are themselves made from recycled truck tires. Any info on this?

Sadly, communications are impeded by the accumulation of vehicles without tyres at the various border posts. Stranded drivers are, however, occupying themselves harvesting the donkey dung with which to make tiny painted dolls to sell for food. And so the great wheel of commerce turns. Or not, as the case may be.

Are there beaches in Molvania? Nice lakes to swim in?
How are the temperatures in winter, would it be a good Christmas destination?
Tanks~

PRICELESS!!!!!!!!

Absoulutely priceless, I think I will suggest this very special destination to some very some "special" relatives.

Do the floods in Molvania get very high? I intend to bring my own donkey and he is scared of water. My sister tried to get him to cross the Danube and he bolted . She fell off and died. Since she was alone a thief stole her body and we have not heard from her.

laverendrye,
I know I should refer this to Ira because he usually knows the best transportation routes within countries but I was hoping you could clear something up for me since you've been there. When taking the donkey trail up from Lutenblag to Rootcanalis is it advisable to pack Carrots as an incentative to the animal or is this service provided by the Assenfleigel?

Be very careful of the Molvanian gypsies. They will steal your harmonica every chance they can.
The locals will love you to sell them your kahkis, white sneakers and baseball can. I exchanged my T-shirt(a Bush photo) for a Molvanian top. They shocked me when they turned around and burned it. I shall not go there again!

Cingale,
Was that a Burning Bush?

Back in college I wanted to study abroad. My parents wanted to send me to London, but I chose Molvania. The main thing that attracted me to Molvania was that it was the only country in the world where I could be the best-looking person there.

I went to the University of Greater Lutenblag Youth, or UGLY for short. It was quite a mind-expanding experience. I learned to enjoy all of the local foods, but when I came home I had to re-learn how to use cutlery, as it's considered rude to ask for it in Molvania. I brought a good supply of toothpaste before leaving home, but dental floss was impossible to find. Thank Heavens I had long hair in those days, it sure came in handy when I needed to floss.

It's not the coughing I mind so much as the whooping.



White sneakers are sooooo 2002.

Hi johnthedorf
>When taking the donkey trail up from Lutenblag to Rootcanalis is it advisable to pack Carrots as an incentative to the animal or is this service provided by the Assenfleigel?<

I lost the link to where I found this, but I have in my notes:

Travel by Donkey:
It is not advisable for first-time visitors to attempt to drive themselves, as the road signs, where they do exist, are usually painted over.

It is customary to ride backward on the donkey, beating it on the haunches with a short, thin rod held in the right hand while holding a carrot suspended from a stick over your left shoulder in front of the animal.

Seat belts are not required in Molvania, but travelers have often reported police (or people claiming to be police) demanding a 500 sbrukle payment as a "fine" for not wearing seatbelts while on a moving donkey.

It is advised that you do not pay the CDW (Molvanian for Carrot and stick) charge, but obtain your carrots and sticks from local vendors.

Hope this helps.

(Great line about the Burning Bush.)
