Happy Father's Day, from the Fatherland

Wir sind hier in Frankfurt am Main...

Something I learned recently is that Germans aren't the only ones who refer to their home as The Fatherland (das Vaterland). I had heard of Filipinos referring to their homeland as Amang Bayan, and I knew that the Pilipino word for father was ama, but I'd never put two and two together until recently.

But wait, there's more...

Sing along now:
In the Philippines, they do it
In Tibet, they do it
The Thais and Vietnamese do it...
