(I am a little astonished, couldn't find any english sites on Golgata on Google.

Anyway, Golgata was the place where the crucifiction of Jesus took place and according to the tales he reached this place after a looong walk, dragging his cross.

It was just an association, this coming from a non-religious person and all! )

Indeed a very interesting association, jumping from a dead animal on the road (road-pizza) to Golgata! Nevertheless, also for me as a non-religious person, always good to learn new details....

Pepsodent -> Pepsi Cola

Oi! Speak no evil of the Bernese!


And anyway, which will be your word?
The current one is Sunbathing (not Pesodent).

I'm not speaking evil of them, but it's known nationwide that they ARE indeed SLOW...they talk slow, move slow, just simply ARE slow...(I hope no one from Bern is reading this, they'd know immediately which region I'm from...).
Only in fencing.....ooooh, they're FAST...
But that's an exception to the rule. The ONLY exception..... hehehehe

Sunbathing -> SEA! (can't wait to smell it....)

[Zilverzmurfen]

...they talk slow --- Only in fencing.....ooooh, they're FAST...

Suits me then; good fencing and language slow enough for me to pick up!

SEA!

Salt.

[Pauli]

Salt -> Dry

They're language is difficult to pick up on. It's totally different from all other dialects and at times hard to understand. Besides, not sure whether already mentioned, it's the ONLY language, and not dialect, since only they have an actual written grammar. No other dialect has that.

[Zilverzmurfen]

Dry

Desert.


I know you're trying to put me off Bern but it's just not helping...
Bern - I kiss you!!!

Desert -> camel


You think Bern reads that? I'll send it over in smoke signals.... Slow enough for them to read. Hehehe. Bern has no lake, you know.....They are only proud owners of the river Aare. But you can't sail, surf, wake board, row on the Aare, only swim in it. So, no comparison to the lake.
And their airport is a lot smaller than ours.
But the end choice be yours.....Though, I'm telling ya....
