...really!

I've been to Hell and back...

Wednesday, 28. May 2008, 15:25:18

,

Don't believe me, do you? Well, I have the pictures to prove it...

See?
In Hell they drink Pepsi Cola, and they use a telephone box.


Hell is, contrary to popular belief, not something way down underground. It's actually situated 3,9 metres above sea level. They follow Central European Time, and you can send your loved, or hated, ones a postcard from here.


What would hell be without a gods expedition? (Notice the narrow door...)


In case you would want to try to leave Hell (or visit it, for that matter), there is a train that passes by every now and then. All aboard!


You can expect an updated version of this post once it has frozen over.

There was a town called Hell in South Africa, but it's probably got a Sotho name by now. :whistle:

Most probably qlue.. :ko:

Yes Mart, you probably can. :smile:

Cois - just make sure you get a return ticket :insane:

Sorry qlue - I don't get it...

Too platform for me :D.
Actually, I have an old pair that looks similar, but they are in suede instead of lacquer. And the platform is nowhere that high p:.

It seems there is a town in Michigan also called Hell: http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=55275

Born to raise Hell?

Naw, you call that person me.

Heh, that's cool Marcus :D. There are a couple of places called Paradis (Scandinavian for paradise) in Scandinavia. I know one in Sweden and one in Norway. I think it would be somewhat disappointing to visit, though p:.

Carol - In Norwegian, the word hell means (good) luck, success. Which one do you raise the most? :wink: :heart:.

Maddy - Yes. She sends her regards and says "See you soon" :smile:.

Darko - p:

Darn, none. I keep tring though.
I am Norwegian, I wish I could speak it.

Hmm.. I don't know how hard or easy it would be to learn Norwegian, but I can teach you some phrases if you like :D.

By rose-marie, # 30. May 2008, 08:07:56

:yes: I would love it.
There was a prayer I said at supper time in Norwegian but now I forgot it.

By Dacotah, # 30. May 2008, 13:18:33

:D
I don't know any Norwegian prayers, but if you can remember what it was about, I might find it :smile:.

Qlue meant with the power change that happened all the original names have been changed to names in Sotho.. One of our other official languages.. A waste of money I believe.. History changed on a whim..

By Cois, # 30. May 2008, 18:55:56

Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria, etc They don't exist anymore. The maps are so messed up that they're now completely useless :rolleyes:

By qlue, # 30. May 2008, 21:18:54

avatar
Carol - Cool :D. I have never heard that before. Did you say it in Norwegian?

Cois & qlue - I had no idea that they'd gotten new names? What's Jo'burg called these days then?

By rose-marie, # 31. May 2008, 11:46:52

avatar
No idea.. I know Pretoria is Tswane but I haven't even bothered to memorize any others.. They better leave the mothercity as it is :irked:

By Cois, # 31. May 2008, 11:55:17

:yes: I said it in Norwegian. Except one time when I was to say it at the dinner table I forgot it and just looked up and said "ummm Hi God". :lol: :D

Well, Durban is called Etekweni. I'm not sure about the spelling though. :left:

Cois & qlue - Whenever there is something about SA on the news here, they still use the "old" names.

Carol - :lol: @ your own prayer! I'll have an eye open for the tile. Maybe they have something similar here :smile:.

Martin - I'm sure somebody else are willing to give up their place for you p:.

My cousin had one that was made with wood, that was nice too. I wish my husband would let me order this one. Oh well, may-be if I ever go out to shop I can find one here that he will let me buy. :smile:

Some places still have their old names.. Only some places' names were changed officially..

Haha, that seems like a good town to visit. :D I can come up with so many jokes if i ever visit. :D

Why won't your husband let you order one, Carol?

That's weird, Cois...

I bet you would, José p:
