You Say Tomato, I say Slovakia

It's been a long time since we recognized Glory of Carniola (a Slovene blog), but today's post is lovely. It features the Austrian Motor Service OAMTC mistaking Slovenia for Slovakia.

Now, it's not unheard of for Americans or Europeans, hundreds or thousands of kilometers away, to mistake the two countries -- but Austria? The country that has both Slovenia and Slovakia (or should I say Slowenien and Slowakei) as neighbors?

On the other hand, Vienna is the only place you'll see a sign directing you to Pressburg.

See the whole brouhaha here.
