Luxembourg is an actual real place!!

Did you know their are more than three people living in Luxembourg and that Luxembourg is not a made up place? I spent a couple of years at university feigning complete ignorance of the country of Luxembourg in order to tease a Luxembourgish housemate but after finally giving in and visiting him and his family a couple of days ago I suppose I will have to concede. To be honest though quite small it turns out to be a perfectly formed little country thriving on some curious tax laws, squashed between France, Belgium and Germany and speaking a curious combination of German, French and Dutch called Luxembourgish. Luckily a lot of the residents speak English as well so my (admittedly awful) grasp of any language other than English was not tested. A pretty capital city spread over two hills and the gorge in-between makes for a pleasant amble round for a couple of hours and I would suggest anyone visit if they are in the area.
