"Those Slovaks play good hockey too."
Yes, and Slovakia should have won the gold in the Olympics, but for some reason they choke when playing their brothers in Czech Republic.
I watched the Slovak/Sweden game, and Slovakia was all over the Swedes, 3 zip, but Sweden won the gold in the end.

"Slovakians"
It is "SLOVAK"... Slovak people, Slovak food, Slovak language. NOT "Slovakian"
Just one of my pet heaves :)
Bye the way, for those who are interested in Slovakia, I recommend:
WWW.Slovensko.com
There is also a forum section.

Ohhh...I am not upset..
I am use to hearing "Slovakian"
I just like to correct those that use it.
Be sure and check the web site, and for those with interest,
it would be nice to have some new blood on the forum, as long as it is devoted to Slovakia.

Well, dang it. I had my tickets purchased, my bags packed, and my torture instruments nice and shiny-bright. I thought it was a documentary.

It immediately came across as the work of somebody who thinks he is much more intelligent than he actually is.
Pretty much describes most of Hollyweird. LOL!!

>>Can you imagine how Transylvanians feel?
One of my ex-girlfriends was from Alba Iulia, the capital of Transylvania. She always got a kick out of the vampire movies, mostly because they made that part of Romania look dreary and hideous, when (from photos I've seen) it is actually quite pretty.

It is interesting that some of my favorite players in the NHL all come from Slovakia.
I think I ought to make an effort to visit someday.

Oh yeah right, the director picked Slovakia because HE has no idea where it is and figured they couldn't speak english and wouldn't be offended.

Agreed, Slovakia is wonderful. My sister lives in Bratislava and I've visited quite a few times.

I was in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in 2004. Almost all of the beggars were Roma gypsies. They were relentless in persuing you for money. Fortunately, I didn't encounter any pickpockets!

Slovakia only gained it's independence recently, are trying to build there country and their reputation only now. So of course they're sensitive to this sort of thing. I'm sure they have no idea how geographically challenged Americans are overall. And the crowd that will watch this clearly crummy movie certainly won't know where it is. Actually, that crowd may just think it's a made up city for the movie... The fine citizens of Slovakia have no need to worry that they'll lose tourist dollars from those people.
