Should I book a room for you two ?
I can just imagine the reaction of someone when they ask where one is from! They wouldn't realise that it's a place name - they would just think that you're speaking a foreign language.
Imagine being on a tour bus and the guide says :
"next up... Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu... and you missed it... "
Haga Haga in the Eastern Cape, my happy place.
I found a town in SA that is (the name at least) too racist to be put on here...

I'm surprised to hear that they haven't changed it yet!

All genuine, Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate is in York, lovely ancient city!
Oh that's just splendid. I'm only 45 minutes drive from York.
As well as all the very old buildings and little cobbled streets the other good thing about York is there are so many unique shops etc instead of the high street just being a clone of every other town or city, not near you but if you ever have the opportunity Norwich is another really nice city and also is very much bespoke when it comes to shops etc!
I have been to Norwich. I came to the UK when I was 17 and stayed with my aunt and uncle in a small village called Ludham. We used to travel to Great Yarmouth for the fair and rides - my cousins showed me around. I've also been near King's Lynn as well.
Beautiful part of the World, it's where my dads side of the family come from!
My dad was born in Barnard Castle but was raised in Selby his whole life until he returned to Barnard Castle to study chemical engineering at the university and then later came to South Africa. He's shown me a lot of places around Selby and I specially love going to the garden centres which we spent a lot of our time when they come to visit. Pretty sure when May comes up, we'll be going to garden centres again.
Haha yeah, some place names in the UK are really funny and memorable, especially in Wales. They sound unusual at first but kind of grow on you after a while. Hay-on-Wye sounds like a lovely spot, especially with all those bookshops. I also enjoy noticing unique names like that, reminds me of how creative things like vampire names can be just as fun and interesting.
