SNOOP DOGG – TOURISM – ROMANIA
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) _ Snoop Dogg’s spelling mistake is the biggest thing to happen to a small Romanian village. Snoop posted a selfie on Instagram while on tour in Bogota (boh-goh-TAH’), Colombia, but he misspelled “Bogota” as B-O-G-A-T-A, which is a town in Transylvania of about two-thousand people. Bogata (boh-GAH’-tah) mayor Laszlo Barta says it was a mistake but it’s been good advertising for the town. A tourist website VisitBogata-dot-com is playing up the mistake, saying the village is the “best place for chillin’ in Romania.” It also advises bringing a sleeping bag because there are no hotels in Bogata.
