There reverse is certainly claimed in Ireland, e.g. https://www.independent.ie/life/travel/travel-news/i-was-surprised-by-how-clear-it-was-stunning-photo-of-snowy-wales-taken-from-dublin-39969920.html https://www.independent.ie/life/travel/travel-news/i-was-sur...
- ojbyrne 5y agoThe end of the original article mentions that he is talking about England as opposed to Wales. Your article only mentions Wales.
- frabbit 5y agoGood point.
- secondcoming 5y agoSnowdonia is in Wales, not England.
- frabbit 5y agoAnd should really be called Eryri. But, point accepted.
- Veen 5y agoNot in English, it isn’t.
- toyg 5y agoBeijing or Peking...?
- skhr0680 5y agoBeijing = Northern Chinese pronunciation Peking = Southern Chinese pronunciation
- Koshkin 5y agoBut neither one is something we can pronounce correctly anyway, I suppose.
- toyg 5y agoWell then, Florence or Firenze?
- galuggus 5y agoBeijing and Peking are different romanizatiins of 北京 Beijing is Pinyin and Peking is Wade-giles Both are pronounced the same way
- thaumasiotes 5y agoWell, you're one for three. Beijing and Peking are different romanizations of 北京. It is not true that beijing is pinyin and peking is Wade-Giles, nor is it true that they are pronounced the same way. Wade-Giles would be pei-ching. (Pinyin is indeed beijing.)
- dr_dshiv 5y agoWow, that's mind-blowing. It does seem so romantic, to consider how people might have imagined a far away land.
- BrianHenryIE 5y agoWow, that's a great photo. I grew up in Wicklow town and we could see Wales occasionally. If my dad said "you can see Wales today" what he was really saying was "the weather's great today".
