Eating Out: As a rule, eating out in Molvania is quite cheap...but in some larger cities you may be expected to pay extra for a waiter with a moustache. Accomodation: At the top end you can't go past Hotjl Palfvi.It's a 250-year-old Carmelite convent that has been tastefully restored with a real eye for period detail.For example, each room features a large wooden crucifix that opens to reveal a fully-stocked mini-bar. Culture:The national anthem was chosen in 1987 as part of a competition, sung to the tune of 'Oh What a Feeling' from Flashdance, the third verse is generally considered optional.'
