Online Blunder takes tourist to Sydney - Sidney, Montana

CNN.com has a funny story about a young German guy who wanted to visit his girlfriend in Sydney, Australia buy typed an ‘i‘ instead of a ‘y‘ and ended up in Montana!

Dressed for the Australian summer in T-shirt and shorts, Tobi Gutt left Germany on Saturday for a four-week holiday. Instead of arriving “down under”, Gutt found himself on a different continent and bound for the chilly state of Montana.

He landed in Portland, Oregon, where he changed planes and arrived in Billings, Montana. At this point he realized his error, he was

about to board a commuter flight to Sidney — an oil town of about 5,000 people.

Dressed for a warm, down under, the 21 year old spent three days in the Billings airport before receiving some money from his parents and friends in Germany to buy a new ticket to Australia.

As his mother told Reuters:

“I didn’t notice the mistake as my son is usually good with computers.”
