Uh, do "-" really need to be changed to &mdash ? It seems like a lot of effort that could be directed elsewhere... (WT-en) Majnoona

Moving some stuff to Maseru

Ive noticed how alot of the stuff on here in the buy and eat sections are solely about Maseru, so I've decided to move them to the Maseru page.

Regions

I have removed the regions section because there is absolutely nothing to do outside the main towns of each region, and the pages would be almost entirely pointless... they would just repeat all the information in each city page.

Also, the regions are more infact administrative districts rather than culturally independant regions.

"Get around/By car"

What does "in a saloon" mean in this sentence?

"For the visitor, the only unsealed road you are likely to use is the last 20km to Malealea, which is easy in a saloon."

Is the implication that this road is so easy to drive that you could drive it drunk? Is this some local slang? Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:08, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

I was wondering about the same thing, it's definitely not local slang Refiloehape (talk) 08:45, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Saloon is UK English for sedan. ϒpsilon (talk) 09:29, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
