Snoop Dogg's Instagram error helps promote remote Romanian village

Snoop Doggwas just one vowel and over 10,000 kilometres away from Bogata, Romania, when he taggedthe wrong location on an Instagram photo. Butthe smallvillage is thankful for the mistake.

Thousands of Romanian Instagram users began to ironically congratulatethe U.S. rapper for choosing to visit the village of 2,000 people.

Meanwhile, Snoop Doggwas actually inBogot, Colombia when he posted theselfietoInstagram.

A tourist website even emerged from an enterprising Romanian media company. The site referred to Bogata as the "best place for chillin' in Romania."

"Snoop Dogg checked into Bogata, Mures by mistake--but you don't have to!" the company said to invite tourists.

Bogatamayor Laszlo Barta said although it wasunintentional, it wasgood advertisement for the village, according to The Associated Press.

The tourism website, which suggests landmarks, restaurantsandplaces to stay, also took a jabat Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders for his comment aboutRomanians havingfaster Internet speeds than some Americans.

"Internet speed," the website said, "Maybe not as high as in the capital city of Romania (we're looking at you, Bernie Sanders), but we'd say it is pretty good. Good enough to quickly upload a selfie."

Balkan Insider reports that the village has not changed much after the high-profile mistake:"In the meantime, life is quiet and calm in Bogata. Most of the 2,000 people in the village are not much interested in what it is being said about them on the Internet. Most do not know who Snoop Dogg is, either."
