Isn't it wonderful that we can use the internet to help folks around the world improve their command of English. Yes it is ORYGUN. I was born here. Now I have no idea how they say "Vanagon" in Germany. Incidentally, there are a lot of VW busses on the road in the Valentine State. Just the other day I parked next to a Vanagon in front of a Chinese restaurant. Only two days later I parked next to a "bread-loaf" at the grocery store. Before becoming too smug about good pronunciation skills, I must admit to hearing a vicious rumor that in Japan they call those wonderful cameras "Neekon" not "Nikon." Please say it isn't so!
