Have you ever suffered from sudden calf cramp (getting worse and worse despite of the usual cramp-killer exercises) during an important work meeting with bosses? It must be the effect of energy drinks...

Sometimes, but not during an important work meeting with bosses. It can be prevented with taking magnesium - maybe there's something in energy drinks which decreases its absorption in the body? (I never drink energy drinks, but I have cramps without extra Mg - due to the extremely soft Norwegian tap water.)

Today's rare destinations: Reunion and Slovenia

[zaqrack]

I love Slovenia.

[Usrin]

I love Slovenia.

Not a bad place, but Slovakia is even better.

So far, Slovakia is my favourite country starting with "Slov". Uruguay is my favourite country ending with "guay".

[alanrotoi]

What about Paraguay? "guay" is a Guaraní word.

Rare destination letters for today: Bahrain, India.

Also there is a letter to Rødovre, Denmark.

PS: About Guarani people, their mythology and legends are very interesting.

[BonzaiJoe]

If you're interested: Rødovre is a Copenhagen suburb - it's a "working class" neighborhood, made up of half desolate tower blocks and half small houses with privet hedges. It's cut up by motorways and big access roads.
I can't think of anything notable ever having happened in Rødovre, but it lies just next to Hvidovre, which is home to the club that fostered Peter Schmeichel (before he went to Brøndby and then Manchester United).

Thank you! I love when you add info about the cities.

Rare destinations for today: Guatemala, China (it's not unusual customers from China but I guess it's the first time I send a letter to Zhenjiang). Zak, something to say about this city?


Unfortunately there are post offices susceptible to robbery. Most of Central American and the worst by far is Costa Rica. Middle East has a big problem too. There are unlikely chances to reach a letter to a customer from Oman. Other countries India, Thailand, China in a lower rate, (let's see Brunei if the letter I sent last week arrives). From Europe I only remember a trouble with deustche post, they lost a letter.

All the letters with a registered number to track them of course.

When I'm doing that work I play a game trying to guess where is from the customer only reading his name. For example a Spanish name would be a customer from Spanish speaking countries but also may be from USA. Slavic names are hard to guess too. And of course the last twist is that for example a guy called "Gomez" (a classic Spanish last name) would buy from Norway, an immigrant or descendant of immigrants, who knows

I just realized that the Madrid's subway station "Concha Espina" makes sense.

Argentina: Concha = pussy

(in spanish) Es = Is

Hungary: Pina = pussy



PS: yeah, bored at work 

[BonzaiJoe]

Good point. However, I think it's wrong. Pussy is not pussy.

[alanrotoi]

What is pussy if it's not pussy then?

BTW no rare destinations so far.

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

Well, pina is rather equal to cunt. Pussy is rather "PUNCI".

[BonzaiJoe]

What is pussy if it's not pussy then?

It varies. Sometimes it's one thing, sometimes a completely other thing.
