The rapper
meant to say he was in Bogota, Colombia - but gave his location as a tiny
Romanian village instead.
A Romanian village
has received a tourism boost thanks to a Snoop Dogg typo.
The rapper
posted a selfie on Instagram in which the location was listed as Bogata - which
is a small village in Transylvania - rather than Bogota in Colombia.
Romanians
quickly spotted the mistake and started tweeting about it.
One said: "Good job, Snoop. You know,
there is a lot of hemp there," referring to his previous arrests for drug
use.
A tourist
website called visitbogata.com quickly popped up, describing the village of
2,000 as the "best place for chillin' in Romania."
The woman
behind the site, Silvia Marinescu, said: "We just wanted to show that if
you check into a place in Romania, even by mistake, for sure you can find
something special there. Bogata is one of the many wonderful places here."
Bogata mayor Laszlo Barta said: "It was a mistake but it's a
good advert for us."
But anyone
thinking of visiting the village any time soon should bring a sleeping bag, because
there are not any hotels.
One
61-year-old resident told local media: "I don’t know how this singer -
whoever is he - could make such a mistake. Bogota is one thing, Bogata
something different."
