County Donegal is home to the charming towns of Muff and Raphoe. Terminfeckin is just outside Drogheda in County Louth. My cousins live near a place in County Carlow called Nurney... Best of all though is @#/?stown in County Wexford.

Intercourse, Pennsylvania USA. The funny thing is that this place looks like it's full of Amish who are the most puritan people around.

I'm pretty sure I drove through Intercourse when I was in Pennsylvania in 2001. Bonkers.

If you are driving to Bridlington along the A614 you will pass by signs for Wetwang and The Land of Nod (no really). Hong Kong's airport is situated on an island called Chek Lap Kok which I find amusing for some reason.

It turns out I actually stopped there and bought some wares from the Amish owned craft shop. I was surprised to learn that not all Amish people live on farms.
