German traveller mistakes Sidney, US for Australian city

I'm so sorry for him.

I may make a same mistake.
I've learned a lesson from his mistake for my own benefit.



BERLIN (AFP) - A German apprentice insurance salesman who wanted to visit his girlfriend in Australia ended up in smalltown America after buying a ticket on the Internet for Sidney in the US state of Montana.

Bild newspaper said 21-year-old Tobias Gutt's detour was the result of a spelling mistake as he had failed to notice that the Australian harbour city is in fact called Sydney.
