Another Place With A Name Sound So Different In Other Language!

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" ~ Romeo And Juliet

Somewhere near Saizburg on the German border lies a small town with a funny name - Fucking. The village name might be odd to many of us and kept us wondering why this town has such a name?? But to the Austrians, Fucking is simply Fucking to the local people. Local tourist guide explained that they have many visitors from all around the world. However, all the Germans are interested in the house of Mozart, the Americans visits the place where The Sound Of Music were shot and the Japanese like to see Hitler's birth place in Braunan. The oddest thing is that only the British seems to be interested in Fucking!

There's another case similar to this in Malaysia, check it out if you are interested.
