Cigale, was the squirrel prepared "a la Molvane" or was it Squirrel Tartare (a clever Molvanian trick for conserving fuel)?

cigalechanta

actually, scarlett, I have heard many an upsetting story of the herders and their goats, but please, I don't want to get into that , as I have no proof, an only as told to.
Marylyn, the squirrel was prepared.
a la peau avec rosemarin et thyme, et vin blanche.

You are right , Cigale, we will not think unpleasant Molvanian goat thoughts

But I do hear they make wonderful blankets with the goat hair, although they are Molvanian sized, which makes them impossible to bring home.

What a coincidence, Cigale! That's what we are having for dinner tonight!

Ira,
Thank you very much for the donkey information. Since I was curious if we had any of those animals here in the States I did some investigating and found that there is a ranch in Montana.
"Overlooking the Yellowstone River, the course at The Spotted-Ass Ranch". They evidently shoot clay pidgeons from the animals and did suggest that you face to the rear so as not to damage the eardrums. I learn something new every day. Wakuz Dro Brugka Spazibo

John, be careful mentioning a spotted ass in the company of Molvanians. There is a great and tragic tale of collective shame and embarrassment to be told, but only among those accepted as true Molvanians. From an outsider, however well-intentioned, it would be taken as an intrusion too many.
Splivote!

Zikavska! This board is an absolute wealth of information about Molvania!

Trying to find out if I bid 4* on Priceline.mv for the lake district in Molvania, will I be garanteed a non-smoking yurt? I'm fatally allergic to smoke, yak hair, and macadamia nuts - will this be a problem in my travels here?

Also, if I wish to stay in Molvania for longer than 90 days, will I require a Schnegen visa?

Nuts of all kinds are abundant in Molvania and are hard to avoid, especially the ambulatory varieties. If you should suffer a cross reaction, the medical attention could prove an invaluable cultural experience. You may even wonder why you left home.

Hi Kath,

I think that Molvania is NOT part of the Schengen Agreement. You will have to get a visa.

I am told that the reason Molvania did not join Schengen is that 1/3 of the GDP comes from visa fees.

Zikavska Patrick,
My lips shall remain sealed for fear of offending anyone in this rich and unsoiled country. I hope that in Fodors "Up Country Molvania" that a segment will include "do's and don'ts".

Ira, your figures are correct about the visa fees, but Molvania's biggest industry is the yard/garage sales. At least that was true years ago when I was studying abroad in Molvania.

Good heavens! I was a fool and booked airfare to Paris in March.

Are there any discount airlines that fly from Paris to Molvania so I can cheaply correct the terrible mistake I've made?

I have GOT to pay closer attention to Fodors so I don't make this kind of mistake again.

Molvania hasn't changed much over the centuries, I think you'll still have to get there via donkey. However, I've heard they have express donkeys now, so getting there is not such a pain in the ass (no pun intended). There are some helpful tips for donkey travel in this very thread.

Hi Indy,

Kath, anyone wishing to stay longer than 90 days in Molvania is considered de facto to be clinically insane and refused admission into the country on principle.

bookchick

indytravel, I have always emjoyed your posts on this forum, and very much respect your opinion, but please don't tell me you actually considered going to Paris when you could be going to Molvania in March, the most beautiful time of year there! What on earth were you thinking?????

Sad isn't it BC?

It must have been a combination of jetlag, post vacation blahs and a VO Manhattan or 3 that made me click the "purchase now" button for Paris.

No matter, I'll use ira's link for a discount airline and find my way out of the quagmire I've created for myself.

I'll make lemonade out of this yet!

Ira, Kath asked about the Schnegen agreement. This little-known Molvanian adventure into international co-operation allows persons with appropriate typographical errors in their documentation certain advantages in procedures in entering, but sadly not leaving, Molvania (largely due to the fact that no other country could be persuaded to take the original text of the agreement seriously - unfortunately, the signature of the Molvanian foreign minister was obscured by a large blot of bear fat). It would, therefore, be unwise to rely on its provisions in negotiating with immigration officers anywhere.

Hi Indy

Travel overland rather than fly from Paris to Molvania. You'll avoid immigration hassles at the airport and see more of Molvania's natural beauty.

I recommend you hire a tractor for the trip. Abandon the vehicle when you get to the mountains and look for a donkey (Hint.. carrots are useful)

Border guards are few and far between (and easily bribed with a greasy $1) but watch out for bears and don't stray too far north....the region is full of goats which can be dangerous in the Spring.

And where in Lutenblag can I get High Tea?
