In 'n naam lê die wonder opgesluit ...

Wat is in 'n naam?

Ek het vandag 'n tydjie afgeknyp om vir my 'n lys te maak van die SA ambassades van al die lande waardeur ek gaan ry. Terselfdertyd het ek ook 'n lys van al daardie lande se ambassades in Pretoria gemaak, met adresse, telefoonnommers ens.

Watter ambassade draai die mooiste naam?

Embassy of the People's Bureau of the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya

Dit is vir Libië.



(Bettina, in English, only for you)

What lies hidden behind a name?

I took a few minutes off today and compiled a list of the SA embassies in those countries, through which I am going to travel.

Simultaneously I compiled a list of street addresses of the embassies in Pretoria of those countries.

The following name sounds like music in the ears of a traveller:

Embassy of the People's Bureau of the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya

That is the Embassy of Libya.

These strange sounding names is like a Lorelei, waiting to seduce the traveller.
