There are an assembly of flags running the length of the riverfront here in Phnom Penh.
Last week, I was being quizzed about the identity of them. Seems that I am accepted as being wize beyond all others. Actually, I was also told that I was wrong a few times (so why ask me, huh?) coz they were obviously all alphabetically arranged. Actually, I pointed out, the Belgium flag was next top the Russia flag, so not that alphabetical, then.
However, there was one flag that I don't think I have ever seen before. Any guesses?
White, yellow and red horizontal stripes. It was between Sweden and Turkey, if that helps.

well Rob, I think it Bulgaria, so definitely not alphabetical, if they are listed in english alphabetical order, they may well be alphabetical in the local language

Bulgaria has a greener middle stripe, but nothing else is closer. I think they made it up. They created a whole country just to confuse you.
Wouldn't surprise me in the least.
Did you know that the Khmer word for "baton" sounds exactly the same as the word for "oyster"?
