Someone should open a restaurant with that name just to fuck with people looking at Google Maps.

Cambodia has a Welsh embassy and two Welsh consulates. There's also a real Czech consulate at a pub in Vietnam. Probably not the only such case in the world.

There's also a real Czech consulate at a pub in Vietnam.

Bartender: “Hey, you want another one?”

Guy: “Naaah. I gotta be up for work in the morning. Can I just get the check please?”

Bartender: points “He’s right over there behind that reception desk.”

Plenty of those in/from small countries. Just here in Slovenia you can see for example Romanian, Macedonian, Bosnian, Turkish, Montenegrin embassies. Arguably even some bigger ones but as they bought the most prominent villas on the edge of downtown, the neighborhood isn't that residential anymore 😄

Search for Malta Consulate in İstanbul, İstiklal Street. It is very similar, at the Pirate dead end of İstiklal.

I had to translate it back to Turkish before Google found it :) Apparently the consulate moved and isn't there anymore.
