"Cymraeg Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi Gwlad beirdd a chantorion enwogion o fri Ei gwrol ryfelwr, gwlad garwyr tra mad Tros ryddid collasant eu gwaed. Gwlad Gwlad, Pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad, Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau"
There is a lot of strange things about Wales.
- There's no other country in the world with a Dragon on his flag!
- You can try to read welsh but nothing will ever mean anything to you!
- There's more castle by square feet (kind of...)
- There's 11 000 000 sheeps for 3 t000 000 people!
Excerpt from my Lonely Planet : "In many ways, Wales is just what you picture it to be: rolling moorlands, glaciated mountain areas, mellifluous male-voice choirs, tongue-twisting place names, Rugby Union, 'Bread of Heaven', romantic castles, people with querying lilts, cheese on toast and old mining towns."
Did they forgot about the sheeps...? I will not I can assure you!
