There's a story that sounds too silly to be true, but it's actually true.
A couple from Texas were in Stockholm and asked to buy a ticket to Venice.
Then they ended up in Vännäs, not far from where I live.
Because Venice is not called Venice in Swedish or in Italian I guess, but Venice sounds kind of like Vännäs.
Fortunately they enjoyed their snowy detour, and the train company (back when it was SJ) made it right.
