Halloween in Europe
Halloween is the jumping off point for the Geo Quiz this time. The place we’re looking for is in Europe, but in at least one village, you’ll find witches, warlocks, ghosts and goblins � and some very excited children. This country has three official languages, count them: three.
Though many people think of it as a country of two fiercely competing languages, with two groups of people who � even centuries on � still can’t get along.
Still guessing?
